N-[6-Benzyloxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-yl]-N-ethylmethanesulfonamide → N-[2,2-dimethyl-6-hydroxychroman-4-yl]-N-ethyl-methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

12 g of N-[6-benzyloxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-yl]-N-ethylmethanesulfonamide were dissolved in 250 ml of THF/methanol (1:1) and hydrogenated in a shaking duck using Pd/carbon. After absorption of hydrogen was complete, the catalyst was filtered off with suction, the filtrate was concentrated and the residue was crystallized using diisopropyl ether, 7.7 g, m.p. 169-170° C.
