Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (6.67 ml, 89.9 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-tert-Butyl 3-ethyl 7a-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisoxazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-3,5(6H)-dicarboxylate (5.5 g, 14.98 mmol) in MC (100 ml) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 16 hours. Thereafter, the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and NaHCO3 solution was added. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product obtained was employed directly in the next stage without further purification.
