5-[(4-Chlorophenyl)methylidene]-2,2-dimethylcyclopentan-1-one → 5-(4-Chlorobenzyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-5,5-dimethylcylopentanone (prepared in Example 5) was dissolved in 40 ml of ethanol, and 60 mg palladium-carbon (10%) was added to the mixture. The hydrogenation reaction was carried out under normal pressure until theoretical amount of hydrogen was absorbed.
