Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of (E)-3-tricyclo[3.3.1.1-3,7]dec-2-yl-2-propenoic acid ethyl ester and (Z)-3-tricyclo[3.3.1.1-3,7]dec-2-yl-2-propenoic acid ethyl ester (0.018 mol, 4.23 g), dissolved in ethyl acetate (500 mL) was hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C catalyst (450 mg), (1 atm H2) with vigorous stirring until the uptake of hydrogen ceased (1 h). The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite, and the filtrate dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to provide tricyclo[3.3.1.1-3,7]decane-2-propanoic acid ethyl ester as a colorless oil.
