tert-butyl 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-(3-cyanophenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (1.00 g, 3.52 mmol) was combined with 20% Pd(OH)2/C (1 g) in 25 mL of methanol. This mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere using a hydrogen filled balloon for 5 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a celite plug and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification by MPLC (silica, 38% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave tert-butyl 4-(3-cyanophenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate. ESI-MS calc. for C17H22N2O2: 286; Found: 309 (M+Na+).
