Procedure
To a solution of tert-butyl trans-4-(dimethylamino)cyclohexylcarbamate (800 mg, 3.3 mmol) was added TFA (5 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred with heat at 75° C. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated, the residue was loaded onto an SCX® ion-exchange column, flushed with methanol and then 7 N ammonia in methanol to obtain the desired product. The fractions containing the product were concentrated to dryness to obtain the desired product as the free base (400 mg, 85%) as an orange oil: ESI MS m/z 143 [C8H18N2+H]+.
