Acetic Acid → tert-Butyl 4-(2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-butyl 4-(1-methoxy-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (660 mg, 1.7 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate (15 mL) and methanol (15 mL). Acetic acid (250 μL, 4.4 mmol) was added to the mixture. A catalytic amount of 50% wet 10% palladium on carbon was added to the mixture. Reaction vessel was charged with 15 psi of hydrogen gas. Reaction shook on a Parr apparatus at room temperature for 2 hours. Reaction mixture was filtered to removed the catalyst. Filtrated was concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography gave the title compound as orange foam in 47% yield. MS m/e (M−H)−=329.1.
