Tert-butyl 4-[4-(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)but-3-ynyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-[4-(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)butyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-[4-(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)but-3-ynyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.0302 g, 0.0756 mmol) synthesized in Example B61, Step 3 in ethanol (5 mL) was added with 5% palladium/carbon (wetted with 50% water, 0.100 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, the filtrate was concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain tert-butyl 4-[4-(6-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)butyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.0291 g, 95%).
