Dichloromethane → Hydrochloric Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(4-Trifluoromethylsulfanyl-phenylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg; 0.53 mmol, prepared in accordance with Example 46) is dissolved in a 1 to 1 mixture of dichloromethane and trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL), and stirred for 90 minutes. The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and co-evaporated with dichloromethane (2×10 mL). The resulting residue is diluted in ethylacetate (5 mL) and a 4N solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (5 mL) is added. A precipitate is obtained which is filtered and dried under high vacuum to afford the desired product as hydrochloride (168 mg; 0.53 mmol).
