Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-ethylphenyl-3-hydroxypyridin-2-yl-methanol (0.60 g, 2.62 mmol), 20% palladium hydroxide/carbon (300 mg) and acetic acid (8 mL) was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 76 hours. After filtration to remove the insoluble materials, the filtrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give 2-(4-ethylbenzyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (0.46 g, 82%) as a colorless powder.
