Trifluoroacetic acid → [4-(2-Chloro-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-(2-chloro-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (120 mg, 310 μmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) at 0° C. was added TFA (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was extracted with 30 mL 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution and 30 mL EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted a second time with 30 mL EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with 30 mL brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. Light yellow solid (79 mg, 89%). MS (ESI): m/z=287.055 [M+H]+.
