Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 4-{3-[2-(3-Hydroxy-4-phenyl-butyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-propyl}-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogous to the procedure described for Example 1A, Step E, 4-(3-{2-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-phenyl-butyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl}-propyl)-benzonitrile (257.6 mg, 0.525 mmol) was deprotected with TBAF (1M in THF, 0.79 mL, 0.79 mmol) over 24 h. Purification by medium pressure chromatography (1:1 EtOAc: hexanes to EtOAc to 1% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to 3% MeOH in CH2Cl2) provided 4-{3-[2-(3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-butyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-propyl}-benzonitrile (157.8 mg). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.56 (m, 2H), 7.26 (m, 7H), 3.80 (m, 1H), 3.67–3.55 (m, 2H), 2.98 (m, 1H), 2.80 (m, 1H), 2.65 (t, 2H), 2.43–2.24 (m, 2H), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.89–1.33 (m, 9H); MS 375.3 (M−1).
