Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(2-Cyclopropyl-2-phenyl-ethyl)-pyridin-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude [4-(2-cyclopropyl-2-phenyl-ethyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (97 mg) is dissolved in DCM (1.5 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL) is added. After the mixture is stirred for 16 hrs, EtOAc (25 mL) is added followed by the addition of saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (10 mL) and water (15 mL). The mixture is stirred for 15 min and the aqueous layer is separated and extracted with EtOAc (2×25 ml). All the organic layers are combined and concentrated to give 70 mg of the crude product which is used in the next step without purification.
