Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (E2) (1.0 eq.) and Pd/C (10% w/w) in MeOH (0.25 M) was stirred for 3 d at RT under H2 atmosphere (1 atm). The mixture was filtered through Celite® and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The white solid was used without further purification in the subsequent step. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO, 300K) δ 7.29 (1H, dd, J=9.5 Hz, J=3.0 Hz), 7.12 (1H, dd, J=9.5 Hz, J=3.0 Hz), 6.36 (2H, br. s), 3.78 (3H, s), 2.11 (3H, s).
