Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-[(3S,4R)-1-benzyl-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl]benzoate (9 g, 26.7 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH:1M HCl (1:1, 160 mL) and was hydrogenated at 50 psi in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium on carbon (1 g) for 36 hr. Palladium was filtered through a celite plug and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give 7.2 g of ethyl 3-[(3S,4R)-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl]benzoate as an HCl salt.
