Abstract
Carbalkoxy substituents are shown to retard the hydrogenation of aromatic rings over Rh/C catalyst. Hydrogenolysis predominates with acyclic (benzy1oxy) acetates over this catalyst, but both hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis become sluggish with 2-isochroman-4-ones (1). However, phthalides may be cleanly hydrogenated in moderate to excellent yields without significant hydrogenolysis. Placing a benzyl ether in a ring system appears to greatly ...
