Trifluoroacetic acid → benzyl (S)-1-[(1S,2R,4R)-4-amino-2-propylcyclohexyl]-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {(3S)-1-[(1S,2R,4R)-4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-propyl-cyclohexyl]-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl}-carbamic acid benzyl ester (3.88 g, 8.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (90 mL) was added TFA (45 mL) at RT. The reaction was stirred for 5 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between 1N NaOH (100 mL) and EtOAc (150 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL) and the organic phases were combined, washed with brine (25 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give benzyl (S)-1-[(1S,2R,4R)-4-amino-2-propylcyclohexyl]-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylcarbamate. MS found: (M+H)+=374.3.
