Reaction Steps

3-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)-2-ethoxyacrylic acid ethyl ester (described in Example 38a) (62 g; 0.19 mole) was hydrogenated in ethyl acetate (400 ml) at atmospheric pressure using Pd/C (10%) as catalyst. The mixture was filtered through celite and evaporated in vacuo to give 45.6 g (yield 100%) of 2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid ethyl ester.
