Reaction Steps

[(1SR,2RS)-2-(2-Methoxy-6-methylsulfanyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoylamino)-cyclopentyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl Ester (intermediate N, 0.2 g, 0.45 mmol) was dissolved in 2 mL methanol. Hydrochloric acid (4M in dioxane, 0.56 mL, 2.2 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture was poured into 2N sodium carbonate solution and was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was used without any further purification, white solid (147 mg, 94%), MS: m/e=349.2 [(M+H)+].
