NaBH3CN (607 mg) was added, an exotherm was observed. The pH is monitored every 15 min and adjusted to ˜7 with AcOH. After 45 min, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue is dissolved in EtOAc, washed with 6N NaOH, 1N NaOH, and 2N HCl (3×). The acid washings were combined, adjusted to ˜pH 10 with solid Na2CO3 and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The EtOAc fractions were combined, dried with Na2SO4, and purified with flash chromatography (SiO2, 95:5:0.5 CH2Cl2:MeOH:NH4OH) to afford 1-methyl-2-(3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-phenoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine.
