Ammonia → 2-(5'-Bromo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2]bipyridinyl-4-yl)ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.9 g (17.95 mmol) of tert-butyl 2-(5′-bromo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2]bipyridinyl-4-yl)ethylcarbamate obtained in step 8.1., in 100 ml of dichloromethane, cooled by an ice/water bath, is admixed slowly with 20.47 g (179.54 mmol) of trifluoroacetic acid. Stirring is continued at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into a mixture of ice-water and 28% aqueous ammonia. The mixture is decanted, the aqueous phase is extracted twice with dichloromethane, and the combined organic phases are washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure.
