Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-4-(1-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yloxy)-3-fluorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-tert-butyl 4-(3-(2-fluoro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenoxy)-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (900 mg, 2.06 mmol) was dissolved in THF (20 mL) and potassium trimethylsilanolate (529 mg, 4.12 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at ambient temperature. After 2 hours, additional potassium trimethylsilanolate (529 mg, 4.12 mmol) was added and stirred for 3 hours, the reaction was poured into 1N HCl and extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford (S)-4-(1-(1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidin-4-yl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yloxy)-3-fluorobenzoic acid (834 mg, 1.97 mmol, 95.7% yield) as a white solid.
