Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-(morpholinomethyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 5-(morpholinomethyl)pyridin-2-ylcarbamate (107; 1.40 g, 4.77 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added TFA (10.0 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Enough saturated aqueous Na2CO3 was added to the resulting residue to adjust the pH=9. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 5-(morpholinomethyl)pyridin-2-amine 108 (0.85 g, 92%).
