Methanol → 2-Hydroxy-5-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution mixture of the obtained benzyl 2-(benzyloxy)-5-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoate (2.2 g) in dioxane (11 mL), ethyl acetate (17 mL), and methanol (5.5 mL), 10% palladium-carbon (1.1 g) was added, followed by stirring under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 2 hours. Tetrahydrofuran was added to the reaction mixture, and the insoluble substance was removed by filtration. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Diisopropyl ether was added to the obtained residue, and the solid substance was collected by filtration to obtain 1.1 g of 2-hydroxy-5-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoic acid as a light yellow solid.
