Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 20 g. (0.067 mole) of 4-cyano-N-(1-cyclohexyl-3-pyrrolidinyl)benzamide in 400 ml. of 95% ethanol and 19.24 g. (0.202 mole) of concentrated hydrochloric acid containing 2.0 g. of palladium on charcoal (10%) was shaken at room temperature in three atmospheres of hydrogen for five hours. The filtered mixture was concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between dilute sodium hydroxide and chloroform. The dried chloroform solution was concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 8.0 g. (40%) of product which melted at 125°-129° C.
