Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {4-[4-(3-Methoxy-5-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-phenyl]-cyclohexyl}-acetic acid methyl ester (0.14 g) in 10 Ml EtOAc was added 30 mg Pd/C. The reaction vessel was purged with hydrogen, then stirred overnight under a balloon atmosphere of hydrogen. Filtration through Celite followed by removal of solvent in vacuo afforded the title compound: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 0.94-1.02 (m, 1H) 1.01 (s, 3H) 1.31 (td, J=12.57, 9.98 Hz, 2H) 1.64 (d, J=11.37 Hz, 4H) 2.09 (d, J=6.82 Hz, 2H) 3.44 (s, 3H) 3.59 (s, 3H) 5.25 (s, 2H) 6.52 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H) 7.02 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 2H) 7.47 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H) 7.54 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 2H); (M+H)+355.1.
