N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide → 4-fluoro-N-(piperidin-4-yl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide (937 mg) and 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 0.2 g) in methanol (20 ml) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 7.5 hours at ambient temperature. The catalyst was removed by glass filter and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. After rinse with diisopropyl ether, N-(piperidin-4-yl)-4-fluorobenzamide (653 mg) was obtained.
