Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (5 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 4-(4-bromo-7-methoxybenzofuran-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.3 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml). After stirring at room temperate overnight the reaction was diluted with dichloromethane (150 ml) washed with 1M sodium hydroxide (100 ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate.
