Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl (S)-4-[2-[(N-methyl)trifluoroacetamido]-1-propoxy]benzoate (710 mg, 2.22 mmol) in MeOH—H2O (10 ml, 1:1, v/v) was added K2CO3 (460 mg, 3.33 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated to give methyl (S)-4-[2-(N-methylamino)-1-propoxy]benzoate (430 mg, 87%) as a colorless oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.17 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3 H), 2.48 (s, 3 H), 2.98–3.06 (m, 1 H), 3.86–3.96 (series of s and m, total 5 H), 6.92 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.98 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2 H).
