Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-[[4-(3-Methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyphenyl]methyl]piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask, was charged with tert-butyl 4-[[4-(3-methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyphenyl]methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.18 mmol, 1.00 equiv), trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL), dichloromethane (10 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 0.800 g (crude) of 1-[[4-(3-methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyphenyl]methyl]piperazine as yellow oil LCMS (ESI, m/z): 359 [M+H]+.
