Reaction Steps

Methyl 5-(2-cyanophenyl)-2,4-pentadienoate (15.2 g, 71.4 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (600 ml). After adding palladium black (0.6 g), the solution was subjected to catalytic reduction for 6 hours at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. After the reaction, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to give an oily product in an amount of 16.47 g (yield: quantitative).
