Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 3-Methyl-3-(4-methyl-3-oxo-2,3,4,10-tetrahydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-6-ylamino)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methyl-3-[4-methyl-3-oxo-2-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-2,3,4,10-tetrahydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-6-ylamino]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (prepared using a similar procedure as detailed in Example #162, Step C from 3-amino-3-methyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, 1.1 g, 2.016 mmol) in a solution of TBAF in THF (1 M, 20 mL, 20 mmoL) was stirred at 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with water (25 mL). The aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×25 mL) and the combined organic phase was washed with brine (10 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 10% EtOAc in petroleum) to give 3-methyl-3-(4-methyl-3-oxo-2,3,4,10-tetrahydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-6-ylamino)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.45 g, 54%). LC/MS (Table 1, Method 2) Rt=0.890 min; MS m/z: 438 [M+Na]+.
