Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-[3-(Pyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (6.5 ml) was added to a solution of (3-pyridin-4-yl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-ylmethyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (Preparation 8, 420 mg, 1.52 mmol in CH2Cl2 (10 ml) and the mixture stirred at rt for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue dissolved in EtOAc (100 ml). After washing with saturated aqueous Na2CO3 (25 ml), the aqueous phase was re-extracted with 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2 (7×25 ml) and the combined organic phases dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed to afford the title compound: RT=0.25 min; m/z (ES+)=177.1 [M+H]+.
