Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-benzyloxy-benzylidene)-malonic acid dimethyl ester (14.5 g, 44.5 mmol) in methanol (300 mL) was hydrogenated at 3 atm. in the presence of 5% palladium on charcoal (1.1 g). The solution was filtered, and the filtrate evaporated under a vacuum to give 9.2 g (77%) of 2-(4-hydroxy-benzyl)-malonic acid dimethyl ester: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ3.15 (d, 2H), 3.65 (t, 1H), 3.70 (s, 6H), 6.70 (d, 2H), 7.05 (d, 2H).
