Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidine-4-carboxylic acid (1.2 g, 5.10 mmol) in MeOH (15 mL) was added palladium hydroxide and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 6 h under H2 atmosphere. After completion of reaction (by TLC), the reaction was passed through celite and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to give the desired product (1 g). MS: 160.18 [M+H]+.
