Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → HCID 54089467, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(N-tert-butyloxy-carbonyl-4-piperidinyloxy)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-2-trifluoromethoxybenzene (3.5 g, 7.1 mmol) from Step 5 above in THF (50 mL) was added TBAF (8 mL of a 1.0 M solution in THF, 8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 minutes and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and water (2×50 mL). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by pressurized silica gel column chromatography using a gradient elution of 25-50% EtOac:hexanes to give 4-(N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-4-piperidinyloxy)-2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl alcohol as a colorless gum (TLC Rf =0.24 (25% EtOAc EtOAc:hexanes)).
