Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-cyano-2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.250 g, 0.877 mmol) in THF/EtOH (2:1, 21 mL) is added an aqueous solution of LiOH (0.88 mL, 2 M) is added. After 2.5 h the solution is concentrated and the resulting residue is purified by HPLC (2-23% MeCN/water containing 0.1% TFA). The title compound, 5-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole-5-carboxylic acid, is isolated as a minor product. MS (ESI) m/z 319.0 (M+H).
