Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-Cyano-2,3-difluoro-phenyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.72 g) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After such time the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound (0.63 g). MS (m/e): 224.3 (M+H+, 100%).
