Trifluoroacetic acid → benzyl (S)-1-((1S,2R,4R)-2-amino-4-(tert-butylamino)cyclohexyl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirring solution of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl (1R,2S,5R)-2-((S)-3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-(tert-butylamino)cyclohexylcarbamate (100 mg, 0.183 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) was charged with trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL). The reaction was stirred for 2 h at room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with saturated NaHCO3 (20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The dichloromethane layers were combined and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give benzyl (S)-1-((1S,2R,4R)-2-amino-4-(tert-butylamino)cyclohexyl)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylcarbamate (66 mg, 90%). LC/MS found [M+H]=403.
