Reaction Steps

1,3-bis[4-(4-nitrophenoxy)butyl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (2a) (1.35 g; 3.38 mmol) and 10 mL of a 10 wt % Pd/C (0.0393 g) ethyl acetate solution were mixed, and stirred for 2 days in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The solution was filtrated by Celite and then concentrated to obtain a colorless oily material (1.18 g, 98% of yield).
