Reaction Steps

570 mg of platinum dioxide was suspended in a solution of 11.39 g of the crude ethyl 5-chloro-2-(2-phenylethoxy)cinnamate in 80 ml of ethyl acetate and stirred in a hydrogen gas stream at room temperature for 4.5 hours. Filtering through Celite and evaporating under reduced pressure gave 10.76 g of crude ethyl 3-[5-chloro-2-(2-phenylethoxy)phenyl]propionate. This compound was not purified any more but used in the subsequent reaction as such.
