Trifluoroacetic acid → rac-(2R,3R,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-cyclohexyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in Example 25a, rac-(2R,3R,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-cyclohexyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester prepared in Example 50b (0.69 g, 1.4 mmol) was reacted with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at room temperature to give rac-(2R,3R,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-cyclohexyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid as a off white solid (0.8 g, 100%).
