Reaction Steps

41.6 g of ethyl β-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)acrylate were dissolved in 368 ml of ethanol, treated with 7.4 g of palladium/carbon (5%) and hydrogenated at room temperature and under normal pressure until the hydrogen uptake came to a standstill (hydrogen uptake 0.167 mol). The mixture was gassed with nitrogen and filtered (rinsing with ethanol and methylene chloride). Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo gave 38.4 g of ethyl β-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)propionate as a colourless oil which was distilled in a high vacuum; b.p. 113°-121° C./0.05-0.06 mmHg.
