Reaction Steps

A mixture of 430 mg (0.94 mmol) of benzyl 4-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoyloxy)benzoate, 60 mg of 10% palladium on carbon and 6 ml of ethyl acetate was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 3 hours. A further 6 ml of ethyl acetate was then added to the reaction mixture and mixture heated at 50° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled, filtered through celite and the residue washed with 5 ml of warm ethyl acetate. The filtrate was then concentrated in-vacuo and the resultant residue recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexanes to give the title compound as a white, crystalline solid.
