Ethyl trifluoroacetate → 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-(3-(methylamino)propyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl trifluoroacetate [383-63-1] (7.5 mL, 62.9 mmol) was slowly added to an ambient temperature solution of N1-methylpropane-1,3-diamine [6291-84-5] (6.5 mL, 62.8 mmol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) then allowed to stir, under N2 blanket for 17 h. The reaction solution was then evaporated to provide 12.3 g of clear colorless liquid. LRMS (ESI) m/z 185.1 [(M+H)]+, calc'd for C6H11F3N2O: 184.16.
