Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-[4-(3-Trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

{2-[4-(3-Trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (354 mg, 0.928 mmol, 1 eq) was dissolved in dry DCM (3 ml) under argon atmosphere and TFA (355 μl, 5 eq) was added. Reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h. In the reaction mixture was added more DCM (15 ml) and was extracted with saturated NaHCO3 (3×15 ml) and brine. Organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give a product 2-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamine (206 mg, yield=64.7%, purity=65%).
