Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 66595123, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.12 ml (1.6 mmol, 5 eq) of trifluoroacetic acid is added to a solution of 118 mg (0.32 mmol, 1 eq) of methyl 3-{5-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethylamino)phenyl]pyrimidin-2-yl}propanoate in 4 ml of dichloromethane. The reaction mixture is stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction is stopped by adding 20 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and is then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvents are evaporated off and the residue is then chromatographed on silica gel (99/1 dichloromethane/methanol). 163 mg of methyl 3-[5-(3-methylaminophenyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]propanoate are obtained in the form of a colorless oil. Yield=99%.
