Methanol → 1-ethyloctahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-benzyl-1-ethyloctahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine (2.58 g) in the mixture solvent of MeOH and EtOAc was added a catalytic amount of 20% Pd(OH)2/C. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature under H2 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was used for the next step without further purification. The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 155.2 (M+1).
