Reaction Steps

A solution of N-benzyl-4-methyl-2-(2-oxo-3-(pyridin-3-ylmethylene)piperidin-1-yl)thiazole-5-carboxamide (0.024 g, 0.053 mmol) in ethyl acetate (10 mL) was hydrogenated in the presence of catalytic amount of palladium on carbon (20% w/w) at ambient temperature and under atmospheric pressure for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from hexanes/ethyl acetate to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (0.022 g, 92%): mp 140-141° C.
