Reaction Steps

The benzyl ether of the desired phenol (26 g) was taken in methanol (150 ml) and this solution was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus under an atmosphere of hydrogen (45-50 lbs./sq.in.) in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal (10 g). After 20-24 hours, the suspension was filtered on celite; all methanol was removed to obtain the desired phenol in about 83% yield (15.4 g) as a coloress liquid.
