2-[2-(Azetidin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(benzyloxy)benzonitrile → 2-[2-(Azetidin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-hydroxybenzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[2-(azetidin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(benzyloxy)benzonitrile (410 mg, 1.34 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (2 ml) and palladium hydroxide on carbon (20%) (94 mg, 0.134 mmol) added. The mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas at RT overnight. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The reside was purified by column chromatography using a Biotage RP C18 cartridge (30 g) using a gradient eluant of 0-25% water:acetonitrile+0.05% formic acid to afford the title compound. LC/MS (m/z): 217 (M+H)+.
