5-[5-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)furan-2-yl]-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-pentenoic acid ethyl ester → 5-[2-(Tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5-ethoxy-5-oxopentyl]furan-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-[5-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)furan-2-yl]-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-pentenoic acid ethyl ester obtained in step 2 was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL), a catalytic amount of 10% palladium/carbon was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (82 mg).
