N-(1-Benzyl-4-methylpiperidin-3-yl)-N-methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine → N-Methyl-N-[(3S,4S)-4-methyl-3-piperidyl]-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine

Reaction Steps

To the product from Method G (0.7 grams, 2.19 mmol) dissolved in 15 mL of ethanol was added 0.5 grams of 20% palladium hydroxide on carbon (50% water) (Aldrich) and the resulting mixture agitated (Parr-Shaker) under an atmosphere of hydrogen (50 psi) at room temperature for 2 days. The Celite filtered reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography (silica; 5% methanol in dichoromethane) affording 0.48 grams (90%) of the title compound. LRMS: 246.1 (M+1).
