Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(4-(2-(4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-carbonyl)phenoxy)pyridin-3-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl)ethanone (0.42 g, 0.96 mmol), acetic acid, glacial (0.11 mL, 1.92 mmol) and palladium on carbon, 10% (0.20 g, 0.19 mmol) were suspended in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) in a pressure reactor. The mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 16 h. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with THF. To the solution was added palladium on carbon, 10% (0.204 g, 0.192 mmol) and acetic acid, glacial (0.111 mL, 1.916 mmol) and the mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for another 24 h. The mixture was filtered through celite and washed with THF. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between DCM and saturated NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give 1-(4-(2-(4-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)(hydroxy)methyl)phenoxy)pyridin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanone as off-white solid.
