Trifluoroacetic acid → 3-[(Piperidin-4-yl)amino]benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[(3-cyanophenyl)amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate (D5) (750 mg, 2.43 mmol) in DCM (30 ml) was cooled in an ice bath and TFA (6 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue loaded onto an Isolute SCX cartridge. Elution with MeOH (100 ml) followed by 2M NH3 in MeOH (100 ml) gave the title compound as a white solid (613 mg). δH (CDCl3, 250 MHz) 7.21 (2H, t), 6.93 (1H, m), 6.77 (2H, m), 3.78 (1H, m), 3.35 (1H, m), 3.14 (2H, m), 2.73 (2H, m), 2.06 (2H, m), 1.34 (2H, m). MS (ES): MH+ 202.
