Reaction Steps

Chlorotrimethylsilane (0.17 mL) and potassium iodide (370 mg) were added to a solution of (5R)-5-[2-(5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-(4-ethoxy-3-fluorophenyl)ethyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (222 mg) in acetonitrile (4.4 mL) at room temperature, and then the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for one hour. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered, after which the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. One diastereomer (A) of the title compound was obtained as a white solid (71 mg, 33% (two steps)) by separating the residue by preparative HPLC (CHIRALPAK IB (20 mm i.d.×250 mm L, Daicel Chemical Industries, LTD.), 40° C., flow rate: 10 mL/min, ethanol:hexane=40:60) and concentrating the fraction eluted with a retention time of 13 minutes. The fraction eluted with a retention time of 28 minutes was concentrated to give the other diastereomer (B) of the title compound as a white solid (71 mg, 33% (two steps)).
