Tert-butyl 3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% palladium on carbon (about 50% wet) (170 mg) was added to a mixture of tert-butyl 3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylate (1.7 g) and EtOH (34 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours in a hydrogen atmosphere at 3 atm. The reaction mixture was separated by filtration using Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby tert-butyl 3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylate (1.7 g) was obtained as a colorless oil.
