Reaction Steps

Add 4-cyano-N-cycloheptyl-3-fluoro-benzamide (0.86 g, 3.3 mmol), 10% Pd/C (Degussa type E101, 250 mg), ethanol (25 mL), water (9 mL) and acetic acid (1 mL) to a pressure vessel under a nitrogen atmosphere. Pressurize the vessel to 50 psi with hydrogen, and stir the mixture for 0.5 h. 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 title compound as the acetic acid salt. Use SCX chromatography to obtain the title compound (805 mg, 92%). MS (ES+) m/z: 265.3 (M+H)+.
