Participants

Reaction Steps

(Method 3): A solution of 0.4 g (0.58 mmol) (2S,4R)-2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-benzyloxymethyl)-4-tritylsulfanyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 2-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl ester in 5.8 ml TFA was treated at 0° C. with 0.92 ml (5.78 mmol) triethylsilane and after 10 min at room temperature evaporated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (Hexane/EtOAc 4:1) to give 0.22 (82%) (2S,4R)-4-mercapto-2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-benzyloxymethyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 2-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl ester, MS: 456 (MH+).
