Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-N-(3-fluoro-4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cooled TFA (5.0 mL) was added to tert-butyl (R)-1-((3-fluoro-4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate (526 mg, 1.11 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 min. The reaction mixture was poured into ice and aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by NH-silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 20→50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give (R)—N-(3-fluoro-4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxamide (350.3 mg, 0.940 mmol, 84%) as a white solid.
