Reaction Steps

Hydrogenating 10 g (48 mmol) of 4-stilbenemethanol (Aldrich; Milwaukee/U.S.A.) in 100 ml of THF, in the presence of 0.5 g of 5% Pd/C under low pressure and at RT, filtering through ®Celite (filtering aid based on kieselguhr; Johns-Manville Corp., obtainable from Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) and evaporating the filtrate affords the title compound, approximately 15% of which, according to the 1H-NMR spectrum, consists of p-(2-phenylethyl)toluene: TLC Rf (A)=0.62; 1H-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 2.92 (s, 4H), 4.68 (s, 2H), 7.15-7.35 (m, 9H).
