Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [(3S,4R)-4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-1-(5′-cyano-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2]bipyridinyl-4-carbonyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (3.20 g, 6.12 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 mL) was added at ambient temperature trifluoroacetic acid (4.7 mL, 61.2 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at this temperature. After concentration, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with aqueous sodium carbonate (20%). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated affording the title compound (1.90 g, 73%) as a light yellow foam. MS m/e: 424.2 [M+H]+.
