Trifluoroacetic acid → Methyl 4-amino-2,6-difluorobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

At RT, 0.5 ml of TFA was added to a solution of 36 mg (0.125 mmol) of methyl 4-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2,6-difluorobenzoate in 1 ml of dichloromethane, and the mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was co-evaporated repeatedly with dichloromethane and toluene and dried under reduced pressure. The crude product was used for the next step without purification. Yield: 24 mg (quant.)
