Trifluoroacetic acid → Rac-2-methyl-3-phenyl-2,6-diazaspiro[3.5]nonan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution comprising tert-butyl 2-methyl-1-oxo-3-phenyl-2,6-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane-6-carboxylate (1.2 g, 3.63 mmol) and TFA (1.399 ml, 18.16 mmol) in DCM (20 ml) was stirred at RT for 4 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting crude product was dissolved with methanol (5 ml) and passed through a 10 g SCX-2 cartridge. The product was eluted with 2M NH3 in methanol (70 ml) and the relevant fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a yellow oil;
