Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 22494778, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(6-methoxyhexylthio)-N-t-butoxycarbonylpiperidine (3.32 g) in dichloromethane (40 ml) were added triethylsilane (8.0 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (15.4 ml) with stirring in an ice bath. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (400 ml) eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (4:1 v/v). The fractions containing the object compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-(6-methoxyhexylthio)piperidine (4.77 g). This compound was immediately used as the starting compound for the next step.
