Reaction Steps

2.8 ml of TFA are added to a 25 mL round-bottomed flask containing 13 mL of water and 800 mg of 50 (3.30 mmol). The medium is stirred for 2 h at RT and then the medium is diluted with 200 mL of water, frozen and freeze-dried. 550 mg of expected product 51 (flaky white solid) are obtained.
