Participants

Reaction Steps

5% Palladium-carbon (1 g, containing 50% water) was added to an ethanol (150 ml) solution of ethyl (E)-3-(2.3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-2-propenoate (14.7 g, 66.7 mmols), and the mixture was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 14.6 g (yield: 99%) of the target compound. This was oily.
