Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-(1H-pyrrolo(2,3-b)pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-N-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a round bottom flask was added (1H-Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-[6-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-pyridin-3-yl]-methanol 14 (200.0 mg, 0.50 mmol), trifluoroacetic acid (5.0 mL, 0.065 mol) and triethylsilane (3.0 mL, 0.019 mol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, poured into aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and purified to give pure compound P-0003 (120.0 mg, yield=62.8%) as a white solid. MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=383.
