Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl (2R,3R)-2-(2-methyl-2-propene-1-yl)-3-hydroxyhexanoate (7 g, 34.6 mmol) and 1.7 g of 5% palladium on carbon (50 wt. % water content) in 50 mL of MeOH is stirred overnight under hydrogen gas at 1 atmosphere pressure. Filtration and concentration of the filtrate under reduced pressure affords 6.5 g (93%) of methyl (2R,3R)-2-(2-methyl-1-propyl)-3-hydroxyhexanoate as an oil.
