Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 57905251, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(methyl(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amino)-2-oxoacetate (1.2 g, 6.03 mmol) in methanol (15 mL) and water (15.00 mL) was added LiOH (0.506 g, 12.05 mmol) and the mixture stirred for 2 h. The solution was then acidified with conc. HCl and concentrated. The solid was washed with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL), filtered and the filtrate concentrated to afford the title compound (600 mg, 53.8% yield) (mixture of rotational isomers at room temperature) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 4.32 (1 H, q, J=9.36 Hz), 4.23 (1 H, q, J=9.46 Hz), 3.07 (2 H, s), 2.97 (1 H, s).
