Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]methoxy-3-fluorobenzoate (323.0 mg, 0.914 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (6.5 mL) was added TFA (1.3 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred 1.5 hr at room temp. The solvent was removed under a reduced pressure and the residue was made basic by the addition of 1N NaOH. The mixture was extracted with CHCl3. The extract was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under a reduced pressure to afford 174.8 mg (76%) methyl 3-fluoro-4-(2-pyrrolidinyl)methoxybenzoate as a brownish oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ1.54-1.63 (m, 1H), 1.76-2.02 (m, 3H), 2.93-3.07 (m, 2H), 3.57 (ddd, J=4.9, 6.9, 14.3 Hz, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.97 (dd, J=6.8, 9.3 Hz, 1H), 4.04 (dd, J=5.0, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.98 (t, J=17.6 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (dd, J=2.0, 11.7 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (dt, J=2.0, 8.8 Hz, 1H); MS (FAB) m/z 253 (M++1).
