Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-Amino-1-(morpholin-4-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-morpholin-4-yl-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (3.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (6.0 mL) is added TFA (2.0 mL) at 0° C. After stirring at room temperature for 24 h, the reaction mixture is basified to pH 8 with sat. aq NaHCO3. The mixture is extracted with CH2Cl2, and then the combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.02 (s, 2H), 3.09-3.14 (m, 1H), 3.20-3.25 (m, 1H), 3.34-3.40 (m, 1H), 3.46-3.60 (m, 3H), 3.65-3.71 (m, 1H), 3.74-3.80 (m, 1H), 7.27-7.34 (m, 5H).
