(E)-3-[4-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)phenyl]allyl alcohol → 3-[4-(Pyridin-3-ylmethyl)phenyl]propanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of ethanol was dissolved 500 mg of (E)-3-[4-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)phenyl]allyl alcohol, and to the resulting solution was added 100 mg of 5% palladium-carbon, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture thus obtained was filtered and the filtrate thus obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 500 mg (yield 99.1%) of colorless, oily 3-[4-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)phenyl]propanol.
