Trifluoroacetic acid → C-{2-methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-yl}-methylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (6.0 ml) is added to a solution of {2-methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-ylmethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.05 g) in dichloromethane (20 ml). After 45 min at room temperature, an aqueous solution of NaOH (2M) is added until pH 12 is reached and the reaction mixture is extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are washed with a saturated solution of NaCl, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to yield C-{2-methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-yl}-methylamine (1.64 g, compound 2.5 in Table 2) as a light yellow foam. The crude product obtained is used without further purification. MS (HPLC/MS): 410 (MH), Retention time: 1.27 min.
