Trifluoroacetic acid → Phenylmethyl {[(3R,4S)-4-hydroxy-3-pyrrolidinyl]methyl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl (3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-4-[({[(phenylmethyl)oxy]carbonyl}amino)methyl]-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (for a synthesis see WO2006002047 preparation 24(c), (±)-1,1-dimethylethyl cis-3-hydroxy-4-[({[(phenylmethyl)oxy]carbonyl}amino)methyl]-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate E1 isomer) (1 g, 2.85 mmol) in DCM (50 ml) was added trifluoracetic acid (50 ml) and stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and placed under high vacuum for 3 h. To the TFA salt dissolved in DCM (50 ml) was added MP-carbonate resin (4 g; 11.4 mmol) and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound as a pale yellow oil (840 mg, 100%)
