Ethanol → 4-(2-Fluoropyridin-3-yl)cyclohexanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 4-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)cyclohex-3-enol (750 mg, 3.88 mmol) and Ethanol (31.100 ml):Tetrahydrofuran (7.78 ml) was added 10% palladium on carbon, (240 mg, 2.255 mmol) before purging the reaction of air and backfilling with hydrogen. It was stirred for 3 h at room temperature before adding an additional 30 mol % Pd/C and stirring at 40° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered through Celite before concentrating under reduced pressure to yield 4-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)cyclohexanol as a pale yellow oil that was used without purification. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 196.1 (M+1).
