Reaction Steps

To a 20 mL microwave reaction vial was added methyl 1-(3-fluoropyridin-2-yl)cyclobutylcarbamate (1.47 g, 6.56 mmol, 1.0 equiv), ethanol (12 mL) and 3N aqueous sodium hydroxide (7 mL). The reaction mixture was heated in the microwave reactor at 150° C. for 30 min. The ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The aqueous layer was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 1-(3-fluoropyridin-2-yl)cyclobutanamine (1.01 g, 93%) as a crude yellow oil that was used without further purification.
