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

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in Example 25a, rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-5-tert-Butyl-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-cyano-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester prepared in Example 51b (0.3 g, 0.6 mmol) was reacted with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at room temperature to give rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-5-tert-Butyl-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-cyano-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid as a off white solid (0.4 g, 100%).
