Trifluoroacetic acid → Racemic (cis)-4-methoxy-3-methylpiperidine 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of racemic (cis)-tert-butyl 4-methoxy-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (230 mg, 1.0 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) with TFA (0.23 mL, 3.01 mmol) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated to give racemic (cis)-4-methoxy-3-methylpiperidine 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 3.27 (s, 3 H), 3.01-3.09 (m, 1 H), 2.93-3.00 (m, 1 H), 2.81-2.93 (m, 1 H), 2.69-2.77 (m, 1 H), 1.90-2.08 (m, 2 H), 1.57-1.67 (m, 1 H), 0.90 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3 H).
