Trifluoroacetic acid → 5H,6H,7H,8H-pyrido(4,3-d)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product from Step B above (730 mg) in 10 mL of dichloromethane was cooled to 0° C. and treated dropwise with 5 mL of trifluoroacetic acid. The solution was warmed to room temperature and, after 1 h, concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methanol and applied to an ion-exchange column (Varian Bond-Elut SCX, 5 g; preconditioned with methanol). The column was washed several times with methanol, and the amine product was eluted with 1.0M ammonia-methanol. The fractions containing product were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as an orange oil. LC/MS 136.1 (M+1).
