Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (4-methyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-(1,2′)bipyridinyl-4-yl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester (0.06 g, 0.185 mmol) in isopropanol (1.8 mL) at room temperature was added ammonium formate (0.047 g, 0.75 mmol) and 5 mg of 10% Pd/C under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was heated under microwave conditions at 150° C. for 30 minutes, cooled, filtered through Celite and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the titled compound. MS (CI) m/z 192 (M+1).
