Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzylpiperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (21.5 g, 0.067 mol) in ethanol (300 mL) is added 5% Pd/C (25 g, 50% wet). The reaction mixture is stirred under 40 psi pressure of hydrogen for 3 hrs, then filtered through a celite bed and the filtrate is concentrated to give a crude viscous liquid which is purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh, methanol:dichloromethane 10:90) to furnish piperidine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester as pale yellow liquid.
