Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-1-Carboxymethyl-3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-diphenyl-acetoxy)-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]-octane trifluoroacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (R)-1-tert-Butoxycarbonylmethyl-3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-diphenyl-acetoxy)-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide (Example 60) (0.14 g, 0.264 mmol) in chloroform (5 ml) is added trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml). The reaction mixture is left to stir at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo and purification of the residue by chromatography on C18 silica, eluting with water:acetonitrile affords the titled compound as a white solid.
