Methylamine → 2-{[4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl}cyclopentan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanamine (40% aq, 1 ml, 11.55 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(2-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl}cyclopentyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (0.100 g, 0.27 mmol) in ethanol (6 ml) in a microwave vial. The vial was sealed and stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and then heated to 60° C. for 5 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. This was then purified by SCX chromatography (2M ammonia in methanol) to afford the title compound.
