Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2 (1.2 g, 9.7 mmol) and 10% palladium on charcoal (catalytic quantity) in ethyl acetate (30 ml) was shaken in hydrogen at 55 psi and at 30° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (SiO2, pentane-ether, 1:0 to 9:1) to give the 3-propylcyclopentanone 3 (1.07 g, 88%). νmax(film)/cm−1 1744 (C═O).
