Reaction Steps

(E)-Ethyl 3-(4-cyanophenyl)acrylate (13.9 g, 69.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% Palladium-Carbon (4.00 g) at atmospheric pressure. After removal of the catalyst, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give ethyl 3-(4-cyanophenyl)propionate as a yellow oil (13.7 g, 98%).
