2,2,2-trifluoro-N-piperidin-4-ylacetamide;hydrochloride

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a stirred DCM solution of the title compound of Example 1 (100 mL) was added dropwise a solution of hydrogen chloride (250 mL, 1.0 mol) in 1,4-dioxane (4 M). Stirring was continued for 6 hours, then the suspension was filtered, and the solid washed with diethyl ether (500 mL) to afford the title compound (54.2 g, 96% yield) as a white solid. APCI/MS calcd. for C7H11F3N2O 196.1. found m/z=196.9 (M+1). the suspension was filtered the solid washed with diethyl ether (500 mL)
