Raspberry and ginger ketones have been synthesized in good yield by the hydrogenation of the corresponding unsaturated precursors 4-(4´-hydroxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-one and 4-(4´-hydroxy-3´- methoxyphenyl)but-3-en-2-one, respectively, using a freshly prepared suspension of nickel boride in methanol as catalyst.
