General description

Methyl isonipecotate can be obtained by the reduction of methyl isonicotinate in methanol with ruthenium at 100-150°C.

Application

Methyl isonipecotate may be used for the synthesis of a series of potent non-urea soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors via high throughput screens.
Precipitate may form upon standing which should not affect application.
Reactant for C-2 arylation of piperidines through directed transition metal-catalyzed sp3 C-H activation

Reactant for synthesis of:
Antitubercular agents
Anti-HIV-1 agents
Aminopyrazine inhibitors
Orally available naphthyridine protein kinase D inhibitors
A Scalable catalyst from asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically demanding aryl enamide
