Water → 3-{[3-(Aminomethyl)-6-bromo-2-fluorophenyl]oxy}-5-chlorobenzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylphosphine (1M in THF) (6.41 mL, 6.41 mmol) and water (0.384 mL, 21.36 mmol) were added to a solution of 3-{[3-(azidomethyl)-6-bromo-2-fluorophenyl]oxy}-5-chlorobenzonitrile (1.630 g, 4.27 mmol) in THF (30 mL) at RT. The mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography with dichloromethane:methanol to give the title compound (1.21 g, 79%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.60 (dd, 1H), 7.43-7.51 (m, 2H), 7.41 (t, 1H), 3.75 (s, 2H), 1.92 (br. s., 2H).
