Trifluoroacetic acid → [4-(5-Dimethylamino-pent-1-ynyl)-phenyl]-methyl-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.45 g (4.58 mmol) of [4-(5-Dimethylamino-pent-1-ynyl)-phenyl]-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester in 25 ml CH2Cl2 was treated at 0° C. with 11.5 ml TFA (during 20 min) and warmed up to room temperature during 1 h. The solution was concentrated and the residual oil was extracted with aqueous sat. NaHCO3 (+Na2CO3)/EtOAc (3×). The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to yield 1.05 g (quantitative) of [4-(5-Dimethylamino-pent-1-ynyl)-phenyl]-methyl-amine MS: 217 (MH+).
