(S)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(6-amino-5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-1,2(2H,5H)-dicarboxylate → (2S,4R)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(6-amino-5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Reaction Steps

A degassed solution of (S)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(6-amino-5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-1,2(2H,5H)-dicarboxylate (470 mg, 0.915 mmol) in methanol (40 mL) was treated with 10 wt. % Pd/C (3.214 g, 3.02 mmol). The system was degassed again, then charged with 1 atm hydrogen overnight. At completion, the reaction degassed, then treated ammonia gas then filtered over Celite. The cake was reslurried in methanol, treated with ammonia gas, and filtered to retrieve additional product. The process was repeated until no further product eluted from filter cake. The combined organics were concentrated to provide (2S,4R)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(6-amino-5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (300 mg, 64%). LCMS (m/z): 516.1 (MH+), 0.89 min.
