Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-phenylbut-3-enoic acid (223 g., 0.73 mole) in ethyl acetate (2 l.) was hydrogenated over 8 grams of 5% Pd/C catalyst at atmospheric pressure and room temperature until hydrogen uptake ceased (about 24 hours). The catalyst was separated by filtration and the filtrate evaporated under vacuum to a light brown oil containing traces of solvent (ca. 100% yield). An analytical sample of the named compound was crystallized from hexane (m.p. 118°-120° C., elemental analysis calculated: 62.17% C; 4.57% H; 22.94% Cl; found: 62.08% C; 4.56% H; 23.16% Cl).
