Participants

Reaction Steps

Followed the same procedure as that of step 2 in Example 91 with the use of (R)-2-(4-hydroxy-phenoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (150 mg, 0.5 mmol) and 3-trifluoromethyl-benzyl bromide (145 mg, 0.6 mmol) to afford the title product (120 mg, 55% yield); LCMS; 100% APCI+, Calcd: 451.49; Found m/z: 452.27 (M+1); 1HNMR (400 MHz, CDCl3); δ 1.47 (s, 9H), 1.80-2.09 (m, 4H), 3.26-3.44 (m, 2H), 3.69-3.91 (m, 1H), 4.02-4.18 (m 2H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 6.88 (s, 4H), 7.49 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.57-7.62 (m, 2H), 7.70 (s, 1H).
