Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-cyclohexenyl-2-methylbenzoic acid (2.61 g) in ethanol (30 ml) and ethyl acetate (30 ml) is added 5% palladium-carbon (0.4 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen gas for 30 minutes. The palladium-carbon is removed by filtration through celite, and the filtrate is evaporated to remove the solvent. The precipitated crystals are collected by filtration, crystallized from acetone/n-hexane, and washed to give 4-cyclohexyl-2-methylbenzoic acid (2.27 g) as white powder.
