Abstract

Piperidines are one of the most widely used building blocks in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds. The hydrogenation of pyridines is a convenient method to synthesise such compounds as it only requires reactant, catalyst, and a hydrogen source. However, this reaction still remains difficult for the reduction of functionalised and multi-substituted pyridines. Here we report the use of a stable, commercially available rhodium compound, Rh<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, for the reduction of various unprotected pyridines. The reaction only requires mild conditions, and the substrate scope is broad, making it practically useful.
