Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 69480725, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl (S)-2-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenoxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (2.31 g, 6.39 mmol) prepared in Reference Example 62, trifluoroacetic acid (20 ml), and methylene chloride (20 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was neutralized with 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and the mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, and the extract was dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford (S)-2-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine (1.65 g, yield 99%) as a pale brown oil.
