Methanol → Methyl 2-(4-fluoroanilino)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of methanol 8 mL and ethyl acetate 2 mL of the obtained methyl 2-(4-fluoroanilino)-4-(3-phenyl-1-propenyl)benzoate, 5% palladium-carbon 0.060 g was added, and it was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 1 hour. Insoluble matter of the reaction mixture was filtrated, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was refined by silica gel column chromatography [Trikonex company, Flash Tube 2008, eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1] to give methyl 2-(4-fluoroanilino)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)benzoate 0.10 g of colorless oil.
