Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-acetamido-1-(4-chlorophenyl)propylcarbamate (Intermediate 26) (142 mg, 0.43 mmol) was added to TFA (2 mL) at 20° C. The resulting solution was stirred at 20° C. for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture was evaporated and purified by ion exchange chromatography using an SCX column. The desired product was eluted from the column using 7M NH3/MeOH and pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford N-(3-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl)acetamide (39.0 mg, 39.6%) as a colourless gum. m/z (ESI+) (M+H)+=227; HPLC tR=1.32 min.
