Trifluoroacetic acid → N-(3-(aminomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round bottom flask charged with tert-butyl (2-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)pyridin-3-yl)methylcarbamate (118 mg, 0.26 mmol) was added a 40% solution of TFA in CH2Cl2 (4 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 min, then the volatiles were evaporated. Toluene (4 mL) was added to the crude followed by evaporation. This procedure was repeated once. A solution of the crude residue in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was treated with Amberlyst A-21 (1.8 g) and stirred for 30 min. The Amberlyst A-21 resin was filtered off and washed with CH2Cl2 (20 mL). The volatiles were evaporated to yield N-(3-(aminomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (50 mg, 0.23 mmol, 88%).
