Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.67 g of methyl 2-allyl-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate and 0.23 g of 5% palladium on charcoal in 40 ml of ethyl acetate was hydrogenated for 2 hours at atmospheric pressure. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. Crystallization of the residue from ethyl acetate/hexane afforded 4.30 g of methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-2-methyl-6-propylbenzoate, m.p. 88°-91° C.
