Methanol → 1-Methyloctahydropyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-benzyl-1-methyloctahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine (2.00 g) in the mixture solvent of MeOH and EtOAc was added a catalytic amount of 20% Pd(OH)2/C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature under H2. The resulted mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to in vacuo to give the crude product, which was used for the next step without further purification. The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 141.2 (M+1).
