Benzyl 2-(2-pyridyloxy)-2-methylbutanoate → HCID 22270592, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl 2-(2-pyridyloxy)-2-methylbutanoate (1.6 g, 5.5 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (50 mg) in 50 mL of methanol was degassed and filled with hydrogen using a balloon. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was filtered through CELITE diatomaceous earth and washed with methanol (20 mL), and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness to give the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.03 (dd, 1H), 7.64 (ddd, 1H), 6.89 (dd, 1H), 6.76 (dd, 1H), 2.14 (m, 1H), 1.94 (m, 1H), 1.64 (s, 3H), 0.99 (t, 3H). LC-MS: m/e 196 (M+H)+ (1.8 min).
