Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 58086713, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[(3-Benzyloxy-2-chloro-6-fluoro-phenyl)-methoxy-methyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (P-1867, 0.1 g, 0.2 mmol), trifluoroacetic acid (0.6 mL, 8 mmol), and triethylsilane (0.3 mL, 2 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with methanol in dichloromethane to provide compound as an off-white solid (P-1852, 62 mg, 70%). MS(ESI) [M+H+]+=367.16.
