Participants

Reaction Steps

1-{[(2S)-1-(Phenylmethyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]methyl}piperidine (710 mg, 2.747 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of MeOH (20 mL) and 1N HCl (6 mL, 6.044 mmol), degassed and placed under argon. 10% Pd/C (213 mg) was added, and the contents were thoroughly degassed and placed under a hydrogen balloon for 2 h. The contents were then degassed, and the Pd/C was removed by filtration through a fiberglass filter, washing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to provide pure 1-[(2S)-2-pyrrolidinylmethyl]piperidine hydrochloride (692 mg, >99%). LCMS: (M+H)+: 169.2.
