Ammonium formate → 7-(2-Pyridyl)heptanoic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

7-(2-Pyridyl)-6-heptenoic acid (0.97 g, 4.7 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (15 ml), and 10% palladium-carbon (0.16 g) and a solution of ammonium formate (1.7 g, 27.0 mmol) in water (2 ml) were added thereto. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hrs. Palladium-carbon was filtered off. The reaction mixture was combined with water, concentrated under reduced pressure to the half amount and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (0.89 g, 91%).
