Dichloromethane → cis-2-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-cyclopropylamine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

cis-2-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-cyclopropyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.239 g, 0.951 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 ml). Under argon HCl (4 M in dioxan, 2.38 ml, 9.5 mmol) was added and the clear solution stirred at room temperature. After 3 hours a precipitate had formed and the reaction was complete according to tlc (30% EtOAc/cyclohexane) and LC/MS. The solvent was evaporated and the residue stirred with tBuOMe. The solid was filtered off and washed twice with tBuOMe and dried to yield 155 mg (87%) of the product as a white solid.
