Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4-pyridyl)propan-1-ol (15.13 g, 0.1103 mol) in EtOH (100 mL) was added p-TsOH (20.98 g, 0.1103 mol) and PtO2 (1.5 g, 6.6 mmol). The resulting mixture was placed on a Parr apparatus and hydrogenated at 55 p.s.i. After 6 hr, the mixture was filtered (EtOH wash) and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo, giving 36.78 g (>100%) of the desired piperidine; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.7 (d, 2H), 7.2 (d, 2H), 3.55 (t, 2H), 3.3 (m, 4H), 2.95 (bt, 2H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 1.95 (bd, 2H), 1.58 (m, 2H), 1.3 (m, 3H).
