Trifluoroacetic acid → Benzyl (3-methoxy-4-piperidin-4-ylphenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-(4-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-2-methoxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (Preparation Example 454) (4.92 g), trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL) and 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure, and after addition of saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, the residue was extracted with chloroform. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was solidified by addition of diethyl ether to give benzyl (3-methoxy-4-piperidin-4-ylphenyl)carbamate (3.24 g) as a white solid.
