Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-(Aminomethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile trifluoroacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1-Dimethylethyl {[2-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}carbamate (0.190 g, 0.63 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (4 ml) and treated with trifluoroacetic acid (4 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr and then evaporated. The residue was twice taken up in dichloromethane and evaporated again to give crude 2-(aminomethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile trifluoroacetate which was used without further purification.
