Reaktionsschritte

3-Bromo-1,1-diphenyl-2-propanone (12.7 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (15.7 ml) were added successively to a solution of (2S)-2-[(2-methoxybenzylamino)methyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (15.6 g) in tetrahydrofuran (156 ml) at 0° C. After being stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, the mixture was poured into ice-water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The extract was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixed solvent of hexane and ethyl acetate (3:1). The fractions containing the objective compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a colorless syrup of (2S)-2-[[N-(2-oxo-3,3-diphenylpropyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)amino]methyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (1.51 g).
