Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-4-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole (0.88 g) in THF (13 ml), t-BuOK (0.24 g) was added under ice cooling. The mixture was returned to room temperature and stirred for 16 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers, were washed with saturated brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtering the reaction mixture, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the resulting mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography, to obtain 5-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole (0.88 g) at a yield of 100%.
