Reaction Steps

Hydrogen gas was slowly bubbled through a vigorously stirred mixture of methyl 4-(2-(3-pyridyl)ethenyl)benzoate (952 mg, 3.98 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (95 mg) at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Kieselguhr which was then washed with excess ethyl acetate. The combined organics were evaporated under reduced pressure to give methyl 4-(2-(3-pyridyl)ethyl)benzoate (900 mg, 94%) as an oil which crystallised on standing.
