Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-(2-Amino-pyridin-4-yl)-1-p-tolyl-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of [4-(2-hydroxy-2-p-tolyl-ethyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (80 mg, 0.24 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) is added trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL). The mixture is stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Then saturated NaHCO3 aquaous solution (10 mL) is added slowly and the resulting mixture is extracted with DCM (2×10 mL). All the organic layers are combined and concentrated. The crude is purified by silica flash column chromatography eluting with EtOAc in Heptane (gradient from 0% to 100%) to give 40 mg of the desired product.
