Reaction Steps

To 7-benzyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ol (0.47 g, 1.52 mmol) partially dissolved in methanol (20 mL) was added palladium hydroxide on carbon (70 mg, wet, 20% by weight dry basis). The reaction was stirred for 20 hours in a Parr shaker under a pressure of 50 psi hydrogen. The reaction was then filtered through a Celite plug, eluting with methanol (400 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ol as a light beige solid (255 mg, 77% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 4.09 (s, 2H), 3.48 (t, J=6.32 Hz, 2H), 2.78 (t, J=6.32 Hz, 2H).
