Ethyl 6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)picolinate → Ethyl 6-isopropylpicolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To ethyl 6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)picolinate (4.63 g, 24.2 mmol) in EtOH (50 mL) was added Pd/C (0.61 g, 0.573 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen and hydrogen three times each. A hydrogen balloon was applied to the reaction for three hours. The reaction was then purged with nitrogen, filtered through Celite® and washed with EtOH (100 mL). Solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the desired product (93%).
