Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-methoxycarbonyl-cinnamic acid (15.0 g) and sodium carbonate (7.7 g) in water (200 ml) was hydrogenated at 50 psi over 10% palladium on charcoal (0.5 g) for 1.5 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was acidified with 2M hydrochloric acid to precipitate the product as a white solid, m.p. 81° C.
