tert-butyl 4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.5 g, 0.00783 mol) (prepared as described in Reference G above) in ethanol (23.0 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (826 mg, 0.00078 mol) under N2 atmosphere and the mixture was allowed to stir at RT overnight under hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through cellite, washing with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 4-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2 g, 80%).
