2-(3-Methoxycarbonyl-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid benzyl ester → 2-(3-Methoxycarbonyl-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution 2-(3-Methoxycarbonyl-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid benzyl ester (1.1 g) in methanol (15 ml) and ethyl acetate (15 ml) was added 10% palladium on carbon (0.2 g). This was shaken under 30 psi hydrogen for 2 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the solution was concentrated to give a solid which was triturated in methylene chloride/hexane to give a white solid (0.630 g). MW 273.26; MS (m/e) 274 (M++1).
