Reaction Steps

Boron tribromide (3 eq.) was added dropwise to a −78° C. solution of 4-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy]-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile (220 mg, 1_eq. in dichloromethane, i.e. the product of example 7). The reaction was allowed to gradually warm to ambient temperature overnight. Water was carefully added to the reaction and the product was extracted into dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water and brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography. (Procedure of example 8 will be referred to as a “demethylation reaction hereinafter”) MS (APCl, M+1) 405.0 LCMS: 50-2% H2O, 214 nm, 2.390 min, 100%
