Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl 4-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(3-Cyanophenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid 2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl ester (10.40 g, 32 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (250 ml), concentrated hydrochloric acid (3 ml, 35 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 5.0 g) was added. The mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 4 hours then filtered through celite and concentrated. The oily solid obtained was triturated with ether/pentane and 4-(3-aminomethyl-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid 2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl ester hydrochloride was obtained as a white solid (7.10 g). 1H NMR [(CD3)2SO, 300 MHz]: δ 8.38 (br s, 2H), 7.20-7.40 (m, 4H), 4.10 (t, 4H), 3.98 (s, 2H), 2.63-3.00 (m, 3H), 1.75 (m, 2H), 1.50 (m, 2H), 0.94 (t, 2H), 0.02 (s, 9H). LC-MS (ES) 335 (M++H), 93% TIC.
