2-(1-Benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)propan-2-ol → 2-(Pyrrolidin-3-yl)propan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A pressure vessel was charged with 2-(1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)propan-2-ol (1.013 g, 4.62 mmol), palladium, 10 wt. % (dry basis) on activated carbon (wet) (0.904 g, 0.425 mmol) and EtOH (20 mL). The reaction vessel was pressurized (50 psi) with hydrogen and purged 3 times. The vessel was pressurized at 50 psi and allowed to stir overnight at rt. The reaction was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness.
