48. 3 (5.2 mg, 20 μmol). The reaction vessel was placed in a stainless steel autoclave which was purged with hydrogen and pressurized to 10 bar. The autoclave was heated to 50°C by circulating thermostated water in the double wall, and magnetic stirring was started as soon as the required temperature was reached. After stirring for 24 h, the autoclave was cooled to room temperature. Hydrogen was vented, and the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo.
