Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 2-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.186 g (6.127 mmol) of 2-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoic acid hydrochloride (1:1) were initially charged in 11.6 ml of methanol which had been saturated with hydrogen chloride, and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 4 h. The reaction solution was concentrated and dried under high vacuum. This gave 1.275 g of the target compound (100% of theory).
