N-[(3R)-1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl]-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]acetamide → N-[(3R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round-bottom flask, a slurry of N-[(3R)-1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl]-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]acetamide (800 mg, 1.99 mmol) and Palladium (10%) on Carbon (10 mg) in MeOH was purged with hydrogen gas for 2 min.; the reaction was then subjected to 1 atm of hydrogen gas overnight. The flask was purged with argon, then the mixture was filtered, concentrated and subjected to flash chromatography (ethyl acetate) to afford N-[(3R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]acetamide (510 mg, 83%), as a white solid.
