5-(4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-pyridin-3-yl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester → 3-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-isoquinolin-5-yl)-pyridin-4-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-pyridin-3-yl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.18 g, 0.42 mmol) was dissolved at room temperature in 20 mL of 10% trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane and stirred to room temperature for 18 h. The volatiles were evaporated, the residue was suspended in toluene and evaporated again. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 7% methanol in dichloromethane containing 0.7% of ammonium hydroxide to yield 0.075 g of 3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-5-yl)-pyridin-4-ylamine.
