tert-butyl 2-benzylhexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-5(6H)-carboxylate → tert-Butyl octahydro-5H-pyrrolo(3,4-c)pyridine-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2-benzylhexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-5(6H)-carboxylate (1.60 g) in EtOAc was added a catalytic amount of 20% Pd(OH)2/C. The suspension was stirred for 3 h at room temperature under H2 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as colorless oil (0.68 g, 60%). The crude product was used for the next step without further purification. The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 227.4 (M+1).
