Ethyl 3-[4-(4-nitrophenoxy)phenyl]propionate → HCID 68523825, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5% palladium-carbon (0.50 g) in ethanol (50 mL) was added ethyl 3-[4-(4-nitrophenoxy)phenyl]propionate (5.00 g, 15.9 mmol), and the resulting solution was subjected to catalytic reduction at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. Once the absorption of hydrogen had stopped, the catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, to thereby yield 4.52 g of the title compound.
