Reaction Steps

(b.1) A solution of 2-(4-ethylbenzoyl)benzoic acid in acetic acid (115 ml) and the dimethylformamide (115 ml) containing 10% palladium on carbon (4.9 g) was shaken in a hydrogen atmosphere at 60 p.s.i. for 6 hours. The solution was then filtered and the filtrate was added to water (2000 ml), producing a precipitate of 2-(4-ethylbenzyl)benzoic acid.
