Trifluoroacetic acid → Methyl (R)-3-(methylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (25 ml) was added dropwise at 0° C. to a solution of (R)-methyl 3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-(methyl)amino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylate (11.0 g, 36.60 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in DCM (100 ml) and stirring was carried out for 1 hour at RT. After monitoring by TLC, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in sat. sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×1000 ml). The combined org. phases were dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and used in the next stage without being purified further. Yield: 92% (6.8 g, 33.17 mmol).
