Trifluoroacetic acid → rac-(2'S,3'R,4'S,5'S)-6-bromo-4'-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2'-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-spiro[indole-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-5'-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of rac-(2′S,3′R,4′S,5′R)-6-bromo-4′-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2′-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-spiro[indole-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-5′-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.4 g, 2.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (18 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (6 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h, then concentrated. The residue was then triturated with ethyl ether hexanes, concentrated, dried in vacuo to give rac-(2′S,3′R,4′S,5′S)-6-bromo-4′-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2′-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-spiro[indole-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-5′-carboxylic acid trifluoroacetic acid as a light yellow solid (1.5 g, 97%).
