Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Palladium on carbon (1 g) was added to a stirred solution of 2-benzyl-2′,3′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[isoindoline-1,4′-pyridin]-3-one 2a (2 g, 6.9 mmol) and ammonium formate (8.7 g, 138 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL). The mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hr then cooled to room temperature. The solution was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated to give a white solid. The solid was washed with ethyl acetate (4×25 mL) and the washings were concentrated to give 2-benzylspiro[isoindoline-1,4′-piperidin]-3-one 2b as a yellow oil (2.0 g, 99%). FIA m/z [M+H]+ 293.
