2-(4-Benzyloxy-3-propoxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane → HCID 22987076, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.07 g (3.00 mmol) of 2-(4-benzyloxy-3-propoxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 107 g of 10% palladium/C hydrogenation catalyst was hydrogenated at room temperature. After the absorption of 62.4 ml of hydrogen, the reaction suspension was filtered through Dicalite and evaporated down. Chromatography of the residue over 25 g of silica gel using 19:1 toluene/ethyl acetate gave 790 mg of 4-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-2-propoxyphenol.
