tert-Butyl 6-nitro-3',6'-dihydro-[3,4'-bipyridine]-1'(2'H)-carboxylate → tert-Butyl 4-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500-mL round-bottomed flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with 200a (2.5 g, 8.2 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 300 mg), and methanol (80 mL). The flask was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas, and stirred at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere for 12 h. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen was charged to the flask. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of CELITE® and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 200b (1.8 g, 78%) as a white solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 278.1
