4-Pentyl-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-cyclohexene → 4-Pentyl-(2,3-difluorophenyl)cyclohexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound (9) (50.0 g) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of toluene (150 ml) and Solmix A-11 (150 ml), Pd/C (0.5 g) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere until hydrogen absorption had ceased. After the reaction had been completed, Pd/C was removed and then the solvent was distilled off. The residue obtained was purified with a fractional operation by means of column chromatography using heptane as the eluent and silica gel as the stationary phase powder, and further purified by means of recrystallization from Solmix A-11 and dried, giving 47.0 g of 4-pentyl-(2,3-difluorophenyl)cyclohexane (10). The yield based on the compound (9) was 94.0%.
