Abstract

A convenient method for the selective hydrogenation of phenolic benzyl ether, Cbz, benzyl ester, nitro and olefin functions distinguishing from the MPM (4-methoxybenzyl) protective group for the phenolic hydroxy groups was accomplished by the addition of pyridine to the Pd C-catalyzed reduction system.
