4-(2-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-yloxymethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester → 7-(Piperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-yloxymethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (1.3 g) was hydrogenated using 7.5% palladium carbon (300 mg) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and methanol (20 ml) at 3 atm over 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (815 mg).
