Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-2-((3S,5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 320 mg (0.64 mmol) of tert-butyl (2S)-2-((3S,5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanoate (Example 1, Step G) in DCM (3184 μL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (2453 μL, 31.8 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred at 25 C. for 3 h, solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residual TFA was removed by azeotroping with toluene under reduced pressure 3-times to provide the title compound as a pale yellow foam which was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.
