Reaction Steps

2,4-Bis-benzyloxy-1-isopropenyl-benzene was taken up in solution in ethanol and added to 10% palladium on carbon, which had been pre-wetted with water. Hydrogen was introduced to the flask and the mixture was allowed to shake for 16 hours. The catalyst was filtered from the reaction mixture, by a suitable method, and the liquor was concentrated in vacuo, to give 4-isopropyl-benzene-1,3-diol as a white crystalline solid.
