Participants

Reaction Steps

The nitrile obtained in Step A (200 mg; 1.05 mmol) is solubilised in the reactor of a Parr apparatus in 15 ml of acetic anhydride. Raney nickel (60 mg; 30% by weight) and also sodium acetate (1.5 eq; 1.58 mmol; 130 mg) are added. The reactor is placed under hydrogen pressure of 580 psi at 50° C. for 12 hours. When the reaction is complete, filtration over Celite and then rinsing with AcOEt are carried out. The product is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluant: AcOEt (100%)). The white solid obtained is recrystallised from a pentane-ether mixture.
