Procedure
3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid (40.9 mg, 0.19 mmol) and 10 wt. % palladium on activated carbon were added in methanol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 hrs under H2 gas. The reaction mixture was filtered with Celite. The filterate was concentrated in vacuo to obtain title compound (39.1 mg, 93.47%).
