Participants

Reaction Steps

0.340 g of tert-butyl-6-[3-(8-fluoro-quinolin-4-yl)-ureido]-3′,6′-dihydro-2′H-[2,4′]bipyridinyl-1′-carboxylate (0.734 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of 220 ml of DMF and 125 ml of methanol. After addition of 0.078 g of Pd/C (0.734 mmol) and 0.5 ml of acetic acid (8.73 mmol) hydrogenation was performed for 24 h at room temperature, which led to complete double bond hydrogenation according to HPLC/MSD analysis. The catalyst was filtered off, the solvent removed under reduced pressure and the residue extracted three times with ethyl acetate after adding water and a small amount of NaOH (pH 9). The combined organic phases were washed with a small amount of brine, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. 300 mg of the desired product were obtained as a powder (yield: 88%).
