Reaction Steps

4-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-4-phenyl-butyric acid methyl ester was dissolved in EtOH (30 mL), and 10% palladium on activated carbon (1.1 g) was added. The mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere at 45 psi (3.1 bar) for 22 hours at room temperature and 4 hours at 65° C. The mixture was filtered and the filtrated was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of methanol, diethyl ether and hexanes to give 1.85 g (81%) of 6-phenyl-piperidin-2-one as colorless crystals.
