Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-(2-aminoethyl)-N-{3-methyl-4-[3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy]phenyl}-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-amine

tert-Butyl {2-[4-({3-methyl-4-[3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy]phenyl}amino)-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-5-yl]ethyl}carbamate (523 mg) was dissolved in dichloromethane (6.4 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (4.8 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (40 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (420 mg) as a white powder.
