Participants

Reaction Steps

A 11.9 g portion of (3R,4S)-3-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidine was dissolved in 30 ml of THF, and a THF solution of TBAF (1.0 M, 37 ml) was added thereto at room temperature and stirred for 2Hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the residue was mixed with water, extracted with diethyl ether and washed with water and saturated brine in that order. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under a reduced pressure. The thus obtained residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-ethyl acetate) to obtain 6.28 g of [(3R,4S)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methanol as a yellow amorphous substance. FP: 274.
