Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-3-benzyloxy-2-pentyl-propionic acid (1.54 g, 6.16 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (310 mg). The reaction mixture was subjected to hydrogenation overnight at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, and washed with EtOH (50 mL×3). Removal of the solvent provided the title compound. No further purification was required. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHCl3) δ 6.30 (br s, 1H), 3.81 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 2.64 (m, 1H), 1.69 (m, 1H), 1.56 (m, 1H), 1.41-1.27 (m, 6H), 0.91 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 3H). MH+161.
