Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.823 g of 2-methyl-2-pyridin-3-yl-propionic acid methyl ester [476429-23-9] and 0.062 g of platinum(IV) oxide hydrate in 8 ml of methanol and 1.7 ml of 1.2M HCl in methanol at room temperature is hydrogenated for 5.5 hours. The catalyst is removed by filtration over Hyflo and the filtrate is concentrated by evaporation to provide the crude title compound as a brown oil which is used in the next step without further purification.
