Triethylamine → rac-(2S,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in Example 1c, [3-methyl-but-(E)-ylideneamino]-acetic acid tert-butyl ester prepared in Example 1a (2.1 g, 10 mmol) was reacted with (Z)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-(4-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (1.8 g, 5.6 mmol) prepared in Example 58a, AgF (1.7 g, 13 mmol), and triethylamine (2.8 g, 28 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) at room temperature for 24 h to give rac-(2S,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a white foam (1.8 g, 60%).
