Reaction Steps

4-((E)-2-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-vinyl)-3-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester from Example E30.1 (4.00 g, 14.5 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (100 ml) and hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C catalyst (480 mg) for 5 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite® filter agent and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound (3.41 g, 84%).
