Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(4-((4-(2-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)phenethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (I41) (0.087 g, 0.15 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (5 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Trifluoroacetic acid (0.351 mL, 4.58 mmol) was added to the solution and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 22 hours. Volatiles were removed in vacuo, EtOAc (20 mL) and sat. aq. NaHCO3 (15 mL) were added to the residue and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (15 mL), the combined organics were washed with water (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a pale yellow solid which was taken up in DCM (˜10 mL) and methanol (˜1 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The process was repeated with only DCM twice to give the title compound (8) (0.064 g, 89% yield) as a pale yellow solid;
