Acetic Acid → HCID 59514331, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-vinyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.1 g) in EtOH (25 ml) was treated with acetic acid (1 ml) and Pd/C (270 mg; 10%) and hydrogenated at normal pressure overnight. The catalyst was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was isolated by chromatography (silica gel; gradient: cyclohexane→cyclohexane/EtOAc 3:2) to give 8-ethyl-naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.05 g) as colorless liquid. MS (ISP): 229.3 ((M+H)+.).
