Lithium Hydroxide → rac-4-({[(2S,3S,4S)-2,3-bis-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-amino}-methyl)-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of rac-4-({[(2S,3S,4S)-2,3-bis-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-amino}-methyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (105.0 mg, 0.17 mmol) in THF/MeOH (1.8 mL/0.6 mL) was added 4 N LiOH (0.6 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated and quenched with 2 N H2SO4, extracted with EtOAc, and washed with water, brine. The organic phase was separated, and dried over Na2SO4. The mixture was then concentrated and purified by RP-HPLC to give rac-4-({[(2S,3S,4S)-2,3-bis-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-amino}-methyl)-benzoic acid (100.1 mg, 97.6%). HRMS (ES+) m/z Calcd for C31H29Cl2F2N3O3+H [(M+H): 600.1627; Found: 600.1628.
