Reaktionsschritte

20 ml of trifluoroacetic acid and 0.41 ml of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid were added, whilst ice-cooling, to a solution of 949 mg of 3-(4-methoxybenzylthio)pyrrolidin-2-one in 4 ml of anisole, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure to leave a residue, which was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, eluted with a 10:1 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and methanol, to give 728 mg of the title compound as an oil.
