Procedure

In 15 ml of ethanol was dissolved ethyl (E)-5-methyl-2-hexenoate, to which was added 0.50 g of 5% palladium-carbon. Under a stream of hydrogen, the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered with Celite, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Thus, 2.2 g of ethyl 5-methylhexanoate was obtained as a colorless oily product.
