Participants

Reaction Steps

Further, 0.5 ml of quinoline and 20 g of 0.25% Pd-Lindlar catalyst was added in a solution of 1,280 g of the said dehydronerolidol in 2,000 ml of n-hexane and the mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature and normal pressure. After post-treatment, the reaction mixture was subjected to vacuum distillation to give 1,170 g of nerolidol having b.p. 105° - 110° C. (0.5 mmHg).
