Trifluoroacetic acid → Piperazine, 1-[[5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask, was charged with tert-butyl 4-[[5-(3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (950 mg, 2.56 mmol, 1.00 equiv), dichloromethane (15 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for overnight at room temperature. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 500 mg (crude) of 1-[[5-(3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl]piperazine as yellow oil. LCMS (ESI, m/z): 272 [M+H]+.
