Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzyl-3-benzyloxy-1H-pyridin-2-one (Ghosh etal, J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 5073) is dissolved in anhydrous methanol (10 mL) and to the thoroughly degassed solution is added a catalytic amount of Pd-C (0.1%). The mixture is hydrogenated under a balloon of hydrogen, until all the starting material is consumed. At the completion, the solution is filtered through Celite™. The solvent is removed in vacuo, and the residue is washed with ether, to afford the desired product.
