Participants

Reaction Steps

Add 4-cyano-N-cycloheptyl-2-fluoro-benzamide (1.4 g, 5.4 mmol), 10% Pd/C (Degussa type E101, 415 mg), ethanol (40 mL), water (15 mL) and acetic acid (1.8 mL) to a pressure vessel. Pressurize the vessel to 55 psi with hydrogen, and stir the mixture for 0.5 h (monitor the reaction by TLC). Filter the mixture through Celite® and wash the cake with warm ethanol followed by dichloromethane under a nitrogen atmosphere. Concentrate the filtrate in vacuo to obtain the product as the acetic acid salt. Use SCX chromatography to obtain the title compound (1.36 g, 95%). GC-MS m/z: 264 (M+).
