Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(4-Aminomethylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)piperidin-1-ylmethyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4.4 g, 10.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL). After stirring for 20 min at room temperature, the solution was evaporated in vacuo, yielding the bis-trifluoroacetate salt of the title compound as a pale yellow oil, which was used without further treatment.
