Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with 114a (0.7 g, 2.08 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 208 mg), and methanol (40 mL). The mixture was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas, and stirred at room temperature for 6 h. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen was charged into the flask. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 114b (568 mg, 89%). MS: [M+H]+ 306
