Dichloromethane → methyl (2S)-5-[5-[{2-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropanoyl}(methyl)amino]-4-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2-pyridinyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl (2S)-5-[5-[{2-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropanoyl}(methyl)amino]-4-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-2-pyridinyl]-2-({[(1,1-dimethylethyl)oxy]carbonyl}amino)-4-pentynoate (Intermediate 2, 750 mg, 1.036 mmol) in dry Dichloromethane (10 ml) trifluoroacetic acid (3 ml, 1.036 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at r.t. The solvent and the excess of trifluoroacetic acid were removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by SPE-SCX cartridge (10 g). The obtained light yellow solid was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml) and AgOTf (26.6 mg, 0.104 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at r.t. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and filtered. The organic layer was collected and evaporated to afford the title compound (645 mg, 1.034 mmol, 100% yield) as a pale yellow solid. UPLC: Rt 0.95 min, m/z 624 [M+H]+.
