Reaction Steps

3-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)-2-(S)-ethoxypropanoic acid (7.13 g; 21.7 mmole) was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure for 2 hours in ethyl acetate (70 ml) using Pd/C as catalyst. Purification by chromatography on silica gel using toluene:ethyl acetate as eluant gave 3.83 g (yield in 3 step 76%) of (S)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid ethyl ester.
