ethyl 3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-2-propenoate → Ethyl 3-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylpropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of ethanol is dissolved 17 g of ethyl 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)acrylate, and a catalytic reduction reaction is carried out at ordinary temperature and at atmospheric pressure using 4 g of 10% palladium-carbon (50% in water) as a catalyst. After absorption of hydrogen stops, the catalyst is removed by filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is distilled under vacuum to give 15 g (bp 121°-123°/16 mmHg) of ethyl 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)propionate as an oily material.
