Reaction Steps

3-Phenyl-7-benzofuranacetic acid (2.5 g., 0.01 mole) is reduced with hydrogen gas using palladium on charcoal as catalyst and ethanol as solvent in a Brown hydrogenator. After the absorption of hydrogen stops, the reaction mixture is filtered, then the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo to a white solid. Recrystallization from a benzene-hexane mixture gives white crystals of 2,3-dihydro-3-phenyl-7-benzofuranacetic acid, m.p. 110.5°-111.5° C.
