Trifluoroacetic acid → (S)-2-Amino-1-[5-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-butan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

((S)-1-{hydroxy-[5-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-methyl}-propyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.54 mmol, 0.225 g) is dissolved in dichloromethane (9 mL) and treated with trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred for four hours. The solvents are evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is re-dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL) and Silicycle Triamine (5.4 mmol, 1.47 g) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred for 60 h (over the weekend). The reaction mixtures are filtered under suction and the solvents evaporated to give (S)-2-Amino-1-[5-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-butan-1-ol (0.164 g, 96%). MS: m/z=318 (M+H+)
