Reaction Steps

To a 125 mL round-bottomed flask equipped with condenser and N2 inlet were added 1.53 g (3.795 mmol) 2-(2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl)-6-(4-benzyloxy-1-naphthyl)-pyridine, 1.20 g (18.975 mmol) ammonium formate, 100 mg 10% palladium-on-carbon, and 30 mL ethanol. The reaction was refluxed 4 hours, with additional catalyst and formate added at 2 and 3 hours, then cooled and filtered through Celite with ethanol and methylene chloride. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue taken up in ethyl acetate/aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated to a light brown solid, 1.21 g (˜100%).
