Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-(4-pyridinyl)propenoate (7.00 grams) and 10% palladium on carbon (1.00 gram) were vigorously stirred in methanol (70 mL) at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere for 5 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a filter aide, and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by distillation in a kugelrohr apparatus. Yield: 5.14 grams (73%). Bp: 125° C. (oven temperature) at 0.6 mm Hg.
