To a solution of methyl (3S,4R)-4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-methylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylate, from preparation 37 (800 mg, 3.13 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (150 mg, 6.27 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours and the solvent concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was dissolved in water (20 mL) and partitioned with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was acidified using 2M hydrochloric acid solution (3.13 mL). The aqueous phase was evaporated and the residue was azeotroped with toluene (6×20 mL) to afford an oily residue (1000 mg) which was used without further purification in the subsequent step.
