Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-isopropenyl-5′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine-4-carboxylate (0.25 g, 0.93 mmol) in ethanol (9.3 mL) was palladium (10% on carbon; 49.6 mg, 0.047 mmol). The mixture was purged with hydrogen (3×) and stirred under hydrogen (1 atm). After 35 min, the mixture was filtered with Celite and the filtrate was concentrated. MS 271.2 (M+1).
