Trifluoroacetic acid → ethyl 1-[(2R)-2-amino-2-phenylethyl]piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 160 mg of ethyl 1-{(2R)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-phenylethyl}piperidine-4-carboxylate in 1.5 mL of dichloromethane was added 0.7 mL of trifluoroacetic acid, followed by stirring for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and a saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and a chloroform-methanol mixed solution were added thereto in this order to carry out a layer separation operation. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 120 mg of ethyl 1-[(2R)-2-amino-2-phenylethyl]piperidine-4-carboxylate.
