Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-Bromo-5-methoxy-3-methyl-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2-bromo-5-methoxy-3-methyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester ((Example 198: step b) 3.00 g, 9.49 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (7.00 mL) dropwise. The solution was stirred at room temperature 1.3 h. The solvents were evaporated in vacuo to yield the product 2-bromo-5-methoxy-3-methyl-phenylamine (2.04 g, 65%) as a yellow solid trifluoroacetate salt. The crude mixture was used directly in the next reaction.
