Reaction Steps

The mixture of 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-acrylic acid (3 g), 10% Pd/C (0.5 g), EtOAc (50 ml) and MeOH (50 ml) was shaken in Parr apparatus for 5 hs under 30-40 psi of hydrogen. Then the solution was passed through a celite pad and was concentrated to give 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-propionic acid (3 g). LC-MS: m/e 197 (MH+).
