Reaction Steps

A round-bottom flask was charged with (R)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4,4-difluoropyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (675 mg, 2545 μmol), 10.2 mL DCM and trifluoroacetic acid (980 μl, 12724 μmol). The mixture was stirred at RT. After 6 h, TLC (50% hex/EtOAc, KMnO4 stain) indicated complete conversion. The mixture was concentrated, and the crude (5)-methyl-4,4-difluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate TFA salt was use as is.
