Reaction Steps

A 250-mL round bottom flask was charged with ethyl 2-(4-((2-(3-hydroxycyclopent-1-en-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridin-4-yl)amino)phenyl)acetate (0.109 g, 0.29 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.028 g) in 1:1 ethyl acetate/ethanol (12 mL). This mixture was vigorously stirred under H2 (1 atm) for 4 h. After this time, the mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC (water/acetonitrile with 0.05% TFA) to afford two diastereomers of the title compound:
