2-(2-Furanyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol → 2,4-Dimethyl-6-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(furan-2-yl)-4,6-dimethylphenol (Compound 6-18) (200 mg, 1.06 mmol) were dissolved in methanol 3 mL. Palladium carbon (30 mg) was added thereto, followed by stirring under hydrogen balloon for 12 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2,4-dimethyl-6-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)phenol (200 mg, 98%).
