Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(2-phenyl-2-(S)-hydroxyethyl)-4-(N-Boc-2-aminoethyl)aniline (2.5 g, 7.0 mmole) in CH2Cl2 (15 mL) was cooled in an ice bath under stream of nitrogen and TFA (15 mL) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0° C. and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was dissolved in 20% MeCN/H2O and purified by preparative reversed phase HPLC (5 to 2% MeCN/H2O over 50 min; 254 nm; 20 mL/min.), to give N-(2-phenyl-2-(S)-hydroxyethyl)-4-(2-aminoethyl)aniline trifluoroacetate salt 31 as a colorless oil.
