Ammonium formate → HCID 86616749, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ammonium formate (1.38 g, 22 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (230 mg, 0.2 mmol) are added to a solution of 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)piperidine (1.26 g, 4.4 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL). The suspension is heated at reflux for 24 hours, adding further portions of ammonium formate (2 g) after 4 h and 8 h. The mixture is filtered through celite and evaporated to afford an orange solid. This is partitioned between DCM (40 mL) and water (20 mL) and the layers separated. The aqueous phase is extracted with DCM (2×20 mL) and the combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford N-{4-[1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)piperidin-4-yl]phenyl}formamide as a pale orange solid (980 mg).
