Trifluoroacetic acid → rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-[5-chloro-2(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-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)-3-{2-[2-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethoxy]-5-chloro-phenyl}-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester prepared in Example 84b (1.0 g, 1.5 mmol) was reacted with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at room temperature to give rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-[5-chloro-2-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-4-cyano-5-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid as a white solid (0.9 g, 98%).
