2-(3-{1-[(4-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-acetyl]-piperidin-3-yl}-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid benzyl ester → 2-(3-{1-[(4-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-acetyl]-piperidin-3-yl}-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Palladium on carbon (4 mg, 10 wt %) was added to a solution of 2-(3-{1-[(4-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-acetyl]-piperidin-3-yl}-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid benzyl ester (35 mg, 0.066 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) and the resulting mixture hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure for 3 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of celite and the celite plug washed thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 29 mg (99%) of 2-(3-{1-[(4-Isopropyl-phenoxy)-acetyl]-piperidin-3-yl}-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid as a clear oil.
