Reaction Steps

To a solution of 48 mg tert-butyl 4-{[(3R,4S)-3-({(1R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethyl}oxy)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]carbonyl}-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (Example 4) in 3 mL methylene chloride was added 0.5 mL anisole and 3 mL TFA. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 hr and then the volatiles were removed under vacuum. The residue was partitioned between methylene chloride (5 mL) and sat. aq. sodium carbonate (5 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by prep TLC eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (9/1) to afford the title compound. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ: 1.43 (d, 3H, 6.5 Hz), 2.0 (br. s, 3H), 3.30-4.18 (m, 9H), 4.54 (m, 1H), 7.00-7.08 (m, 2H), 7.22-7.31 (m, 3H), 7.56 (s, 2H), 7.75 (s, 1H)ppm. MS: 491.2 (MH+) observed.
