Reaction Steps

3-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)-2-methoxypropanoic acid methyl ester (1.91 g; 6.36 mmole) was hydrogenated in methanol (30 ml) using Pd/C (5%, wet, 0.9 g) as catalyst. The mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 1.16 g (yield 87%) of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methoxypropanoic acid methyl ester.
