{4-[(R)-2-((E)-3-Hydroxy-4-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl]-butoxy}-acetic acid methyl ester → {4-[(R)-2-(3-Hydroxy-4-phenyl-butyl)-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl]-butoxy}-acetic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Palladium on carbon (10 wt. %, 3 mg) was added to a solution of {4-[(R)-2-((E)-3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl]-butoxy}-acetic acid methyl ester (9.5 mg, 0.024 mmol) in MeOH (2.0 mL). A hydrogen atmosphere was established by evacuating and refilling with hydrogen (3×) and the reaction mixture was stirred under a balloon of hydrogen for 4 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, washing with MeOH, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 8.2 mg (86%) of the title compound.
