To a mixture of 4-(5-fluoro-pentyl)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (254 mg, 1.13 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) and water (5 mL) were added conc. HCl (0.28 mL, 3.39 mmol, 3 equiv) and platinum oxide (130 mg). The mixture was purged and charged with hydrogen (1 atm) and stirred overnight. The platinum oxide was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to give 4-(5-fluoro-pentyl)-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid 2-methyl ester.
