Procedure
A suspension of ethyl β-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)acrylate (3.86 g, 20.2 mmol) in 200 ml of ethyl acetate and 1.4 g of 5.3% Pd/C was hydrogenated under hydrogen (50 psi) for 4 h. The mixture was filtered through SUPERCEL™, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 3.75 g (96%) of ethyl 3-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)propionate, as a pale orange oil.
