Reaktionsschritte

Then, 8.4 g of crude 4-benzyloxy-3-ethyl-5-methylphenyl benzoate was dissolved in 100 ml of ethyl acetate, and the solution was put in a reaction vessel. The air in the reaction vessel was replaced with nitrogen gas. To the vessel was added 0.5 g of 10% palladium on carbon, and the nitrogen gas in the vessel was replaced with hydrogen gas, followed by vigorous stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. The hydrogen gas in the vessel was replaced with nitrogen gas, and the reaction mixture was filtered through cerite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, which afforded 5.9 g of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-4-benzoyloxyphenol (yield, 95%).
