Participants

Reaction Steps

A sample of 3-benzyl-8-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-ol (110 mg, 0.48 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (20 ml) and the atmosphere was replaced with N2 (3×). 10% Pd/C (cat.) was added and the atmosphere was replaced with H2 (3×). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at RT at balloon pressure overnight. When TLC showed no more UV active spot the Pd/C was filtered off (always keeping wet with MeOH) and the filtrate was concentrated which gave 8-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-ol (70 mg, 99% yield).
