Methane → HCID 13406938, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4 g (0.022 mole) of methyl 2-formyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-yl-carboxylate--see Example 2 above--in 60 ml of ethyl acetate were hydrogenated in the presence of 100 mg of 10% Pd over charcoal at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. After absorption (about 1 h) of the theoretical quantity of hydrogen, the reaction mixture was filtered and the clear filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was distilled (pressure: 0.06 Torr/bath temperature: 82°-115°) to yield 3.27 g (yield 82%) of the title compound.
