6-Cyclopentenyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid → 6-Cyclopentyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-cyclopentenyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (0.08 g, 0.42 mmol) and palladium on carbon (10% w/w, 0.04 g, 0.3 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was charged with a hydrogen balloon and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain the crude product as white solid (0.08 g, 99%) which was used directly in the next step without further purification; MS (EI): m/e=192.2 [M+H]+.
