Methanol → Methyl 3-(p-tolyl)propanoate

関与物質

反応手順

1.39 g of 3-p-tolyl-acrylic acid methyl ester (40aa) prepared by above Step 1 was dissolved in methanol solution (7.9 mmol) under argon atmosphere. Then Pd—C was added thereto, hydrogenated under a hydrogen balloon for 1 to 2 hrs at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting compound was purified with Silica gel column chromatography with a solvent mixture mixed with EtOAc and hexane (1:10) as an eluant to give 1.24 g of 3-p-tolyl-propionic acid methyl ester (40ab) (yield: 95%).
