Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-[4-(3-Piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-benzyl]-[1,4]diazepane

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[4-(3-Piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-benzyl]-[1,4]diazepane-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (D3) (2.27 g, 5.27 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml), treated with trifluoroacetic acid (5 ml) and stirred at room temperature under argon for 2 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in methanol and passed down an SCX column (10 g) eluting with methanol followed by 0.88 ammonia/methanol (1:9). The basic fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (1.57 g).
