HCID 54426295, compound → Methyl 3-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl β-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)acrylate (8 g) in methanol (200 mL) and 1.5 g of 5% palladium on carbon was placed on a Paar hydrogenator and hydrogenated with H2. Palladium on carbon was filtered off by passing the reaction mixture through Super-Cel™ (filter agent) and the residue was washed with ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 8 g of methyl 3-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)propionate.
