Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of the product of step B (3.8 g, 18.7 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added Pd/C 10% (380 mg) cautiously. The resulting mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi H2 for 3 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and washed with acetic acid (20 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-methylpiperidin-4-one acetate as a brown oil (2.98 g, >99%) which was sufficiently pure for the next step: 1H NMR (CD3OD, 400 MHz) δ 3.24-3.19 (m, 1H), 2.86-2.81 (m, 1H), 2.74-2.67 (m, 1H), 2.51-2.49 (m, 2H), 2.37-2.28 (m, 2H), 2.22-2.18 (m, 1H), 2.12-2.02 (m, 2H), 1.08 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 3H).
