Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of an alcohol 7 (1.8 g, 0.01 mol) in ethyl acetate (20 mL) was added Pd/C (10%, 100 mg) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 days and Pd/C (150 mg) was added 3 times per day. The reaction was then filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude oil was chromatographed on silica gel using hexane/EtOAc (1:1) as an eluent to give an oily diol 8 (0.95 g, 92%).
