Trifluoroacetic acid → rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-[2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-2-methyl-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-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-[2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-2-methyl-propyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester prepared in Example 129b (5.5 g, 9.29 mmol) was reacted with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at room temperature to give rac-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-cyano-5-[2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-2-methyl-propyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid as a dark solid (6 g, 99%).
