Dichloromethane → Ethyl α-ethoxy-6-[3-(methylamino)phenyl]-3-pyridinepropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.11 g (0.3 mmol) of ethyl 3-{6-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethylamino)phenyl]pyrid-3-yl}-2-ethoxypropanoate, 5 ml of dichloromethane and 0.15 ml (1.9 mmol) of trifluoroacetic acid are stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. After addition of water, the reaction medium is extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. 80 mg (94%) of ethyl 2-ethoxy-3-[6-(3-methylaminophenyl)pyrid-3-yl]propanoate are obtained.
