Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 59383091, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-(5-cyanomethoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-amino]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.90 g, 2.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was added 90% trifluoroacetic acid (1.69 mL, 2.37 g, 19 mmol, 9.0 equiv) drop by drop and the reaction mixture stirred at rt for 16 h. It was then poured into ice water and the pH adjusted to 9-10 by addition of a sat. solution of potassium carbonate. The solution was extracted three times with a mixture of dichloromethane/isopropanol (4:1). The combined organic layers were concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure to give 0.15 g (30%) of the title compound as yellow oil. MS (ISP): 233.0 [M+H]−.
