Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → (R)-ethyl 5-(2-(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-ethyl 5-(4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (as a mixture of the cis and trans isomers) (0.0487 g, 0.0946 mmol) in THF (1 mL) at 0° C. was added 1 M TBAF in THF (0.104 mL, 0.104 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL), washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude (R)-ethyl 5-(2-(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (as a mixture of cis and trans isomers; 37.9 mg, 100% yield). LC/MS (ES+APCI) m/z=401.1 (M+H).
