Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-(3-Phenyl-1,2-oxazol-5-yl)methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (1.7 ml, 2.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 5-(tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-3-phenylisoxazole (Method 43; 473 mg, 1.73 mmol) in DCM (8 ml) cooled in an ice bath. The mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 18 hours and the volatiles removed by evaporation. The residue was triturated with ether to give the title compound (427 mg, 86%). NMR (DMSO) 4.33 (s, 2H), 7.1 (s, 1H), 7.5 (m, 3H), 7.8 (m, 2H), 8.6 (br s, 3H).
