Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-benzhydryloxy-5-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-7-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-6,7-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,4-g]quinolin-8-one 275 (8 mg, 0.013 mmol) dissolved in dichloromethane (1 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (100 μl) and triethylsilane (200 μl). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for ½ hours under an inert atmosphere then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether/hexane (1/1) to afford 5-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-7-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-9-hydroxy-6,7-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,4-g]quinolin-8-one 276, TFA salt, (1.8 mg, 0.003 mmol, 25%) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 9.0 (d, 1H), 8.1 (d, 1H), 7.7 (m, 2H), 7.6 (dd, 1H), 7.5 (dd, 2H), 7.2 (dd, 2H), 7.1 (t, 2H), 4.7 (s, 2H), 4.2(s, 2H), 4.1 (m, 2H), 1.5 (t, 3H); MS: 429 (M+1).
