Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[2-(Benzyloxy)ethoxy]-4-cyclohexylbenzene (3.2 g) was dissolved in ethanol (100 mL). The resulting solution was added with 20% palladium hydroxide (300 mg) and then stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 25 hours. The catalyst was filtered off, and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was evaporated, and the residue was azeotroped with toluene (×2) to give the title compound as a colorless solid (2.34 g).
