Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 4-[4-(Hydroxymethyl)-phenyl]-4-oxo-butyric acid methyl ester (8 g, 36 mmol) is dissolved in methanol. Pd/C (0.8 g, 10% wt dry basis) is added. The flask is then sealed with a rubber septum and a balloon filled with H2 gas is applied to it. The heterogeneous mixture is then stirred for 4 hours after which the balloon and the stopper are removed and the hydrogen is allowed to escape. The reaction mixture is then filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth (Celite®) and the filtrate so obtained is concentrated in vacuo to provide the desired product. The flask is then sealed with a rubber septum a balloon filled with H2 gas the stopper are removed The reaction mixture is then filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth (Celite®) the filtrate so obtained is concentrated in vacuo
