Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-trifluoromethyl-5-(1-trimethylsilanylmethyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (420 mg, 1.12 mmol) was dissolved in THF (10 mL). After addition of a solution of TBAF in THF (1M, 2.25 mL, 2 equiv), the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken in AcOEt. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give a brown oil. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc/hexanes (1:9) to EtOAc/hexanes (6:4)) to yield 2-amino-5-(1-methyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (240 mg, 71%) as a yellow solid. (ESI-MS: m/z 301.3 [M+H]+, rt 4.62 min).
