Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-Benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL) was added to a solution of (1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (481 mg, 1.42 mmol) in dichloromethane (6 mL), stirred for 30 minutes at ambient temperature, and concentrated. A solution of the resulting oil in methanol (10 mL) was treated with potassium carbonate (393 mg, 2.84 mmol), stirred for an hour at room temperature, and concentrated to afford the title compound as yellow residue. MS (DCI/NH3) m/z: 239.1 [M+H]+.
