Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-[2-(2-Methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-pyridin-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of {4-[2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-pyridin-2-yl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (143 mg, 0.435 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (3 mL) is treated with trifluoroacetic acid (1.0 mL, 13 mmol), and stirred at room temperature. After 18 hours, the reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is dissolved in CH2Cl2 (10 mL), extracted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product which is used in the next reaction without purification.
