Benzyl (3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)acetate → 2-(3-Oxomorpholin-4-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, to a solution of benzyl (3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)acetate (319 mg, 1.3 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) was added 20% palladium hydroxide-carbon (64 mg) at room temperature. Then, the mixture was stirred for 2 hr under a hydrogen atmosphere at normal pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (206 mg, yield over weight).
