Acetic Acid → 2-(4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-benzyl-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-2,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-1-one (3.14 g, 0.007 mol), acetic acid (5 ml) and Pearlman's catalyst (0.43 mg) in MeOH (40 ml) was stirred at room temperature under an atmospheric pressure of H2 for 3 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to give a crude residue which was triturated with diethyl ether (50 ml) to give 2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-2,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decan-1-one; acetic acid salt as a white solid (1.43 g, 49%). MS (ESI): 315.1 (MH+).
