Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 86752005, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

130 ml of trifluoroacetic acid and 4.6 ml of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid were added dropwise to a solution of 13.8 g of (2S,4S)-4-(4-methoxybenzylthio)-2-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl -1-piperazinylcarbonyl)-1-methylpyrrolidine [prepared as described in step (i) above] in 28.3 ml of anisole, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, whilst ice-cooling. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was washed with hexane and ether, in that order, by decantation to give 13.9 g of the title compound as a powder.
