Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 59606118, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL) was added to a solution of 3-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.84 g, 3.66 mmol) in dichloromethane (12 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 40 min. The solvents were reduced in vacuo. The resulting residue was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (5 g). The cartridge was washed with DCM/MeOH, the desired product was subsequently eluted using a mixture of 2M NH3 in MeOH and DCM. The solvents were reduced in vacuo to afford 1-Azetidin-3-yl-2-methylpropan-1-ol as a white solid (0.42 g, 88%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.63-3.62 (3 H, m), 3.53-3.51 (2 H, m), 2.88-2.87 (1 H, m), 1.62-1.62 (1 H, m), 0.89 (6 H, dd, J=6.84, 4.72 Hz)
