Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 4-{[(2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]methoxy}-2-[tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl(trifluoroacetyl)amino]benzoate (480 mg, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 20 ml of DCM. Anhydrous HCl 4M in dioxane was added (2.5 ml, 10 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 5 days after that the HPLC analysis showed the formation of the desired product but with almost 30% of the detrifluoroacetylated by-product. Solvents were removed under vacuum and the resulting yellow powder was suspended in 15 ml of DCM and TFAA (0.28 ml, 2 mmol) was added. The solid immediately dissolved and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours after that the HPLC analysis showed the complete disappearance of the by product. Solvents were evaporated to dryness to yield a dark yellow solid which was used in the next synthetic step without any further purification.
