A novel Pd-C catalytic hydrodechlorination-hydrogenation was developed for a multi-step one-pot transformation of 4-acylpyridines. Under the selected conditions, 4-benzoylpyridines and 4-alkanoylpyridines were chemoselectively converted into the corresponding 4-benzylpiperidine hydrochlorides and 伪-alkyl-4-piperidinemethanol hydrochlorides, respectively. This catalytic method was performed simply by an addition of 1聽equiv of ClCH2CHCl2 to the conventional hydrogenation system and directly gave the crystalline piperidine hydrochlorides in practical quantitative yields.
