Procedure

6.5 g of N-(3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2,6,10,14-hexadecatetraenoyl)-ethanolamine obtained in Example 1 was hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst composed of palladium on carbon in 40 ml of ethanol. The ethanol layer was then separated from the catalyst and the solvent was distilled off to afford 6.7 g (yield 94%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.

Workup

  1. customThe ethanol layer was then separated from the catalyst
  2. distillationthe solvent was distilled off
