tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride → 5-[3-(Tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogous to the procedure described for Compound 1A, Step C, 5-[3-hydroxy-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (1.19 g, 3.95 mmol) was protected with tert-butyidimethylsilyl chloride (893 mg, 6.22 mmol). Purification by medium pressure chromatography eluting with EtOAc provided 5-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.47-7.32 (m, 4H), 5.73 (m, 1H), 3.86 (m, 1H), 3.59 (m, 1H), 2.75 (m, 2H), 2.35-2.20 (m, 3H), 1.70-1.40 (m, 5H), 0.81 (s, 9H), −0.05 (d, 3H), −0.3 (d, 3H); MS 416.1 (M+1).
