Ethyl trifluoroacetate → (1R,3S,4S)-3-[(2,2,2-Trifluoro-acetylamino)-methyl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl trifluoroacetate (12.2 mmol, 1.30 eq) is added to a solution of (1R,3S,4S)-3-aminomethyl-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (9.42 mmol, 1.00 eq) and DIPEA (14.1 mmol, 1.50 eq) in THF (25 mL). After 50 min the mixture is concentrated in vacuo, diluted with TBME (100 mL) and washed twice with aq. citric acid (5%) and water respectively. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product which is used without further purification. LC-MS (basic): tR=0.95 min; [M+H]+=323.2.
