Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-[3-(1-Pyrrolidinyl)-2-pyridinyl]piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[1,1-Dimethylethoxycarbonyl]-4-[3-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-pyridinyl]piperazine (PREPARATION 16, 0.26 g) is dissolved in 1.3 ml of THF and cooled to 0°. Trifluoroacetic acid (1.3 ml) is added and the reaction is stirred at 0° for 20 min, and then warmed to 20°-25° for 20 min. Then the reaction is poured into 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted with methanol/chloroform (10/90, 2×50 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound, NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 7.64, 6.81, 6.61, 3.05-2.94, 2.86-2.79 and 1.78-1.65 δ.
