Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-(2-Chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stir 4-(2-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (2.00 g, 6.72 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) at room temperature, then add trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL). Stir the reaction for 2 hr. and remove solvents in vacuo, then form the free base using SCX-2® chromatography washing with methanol then eluting with around 3 M ammonia in methanol. Concentrate in vacuo to give 1-(2-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine as a brown oil (1.47 g, 110% yield). MS (m/z): 198 (M+1).
