The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Water was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with water twice, dried over MgSO4, then concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (EtOAc:hexanes=1:4, 1;3) to give rac-(2S,3R,4S)-4-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-3-carbonitrile as a white foam (0.4 g, 24%).
