Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 4-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (315 mg, 1.132 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) was added TFA (1 mL, 12.98 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Reaction mixture was evaporated. Azeotrope with toluene (x=3) yielding 4-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one. Proceed for next step. LCMS (m/z): 179.2 (MH+), 0.373 min. The crude yield was quantitative.
