Trifluoroacetic acid → [(4-Trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperidin-4-yloxy]-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL) is added to a solution of [1-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperidin-4-yloxy]-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (769 mg; 2.14 mmol, prepared in accordance with Example 10) in dichloromethane (2 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred until complete conversion is observed, is then concentrated under reduced pressure and co-evaporated with toluene (10 mL) to yield the desired product (985 mg, 2.14 mmol).
