The suspension was cooled to 10° C. and was filtered. The salts were rinsed with three 250-mL portions of acetone, and the acetone washes and filtrate were concentrated on a rotary evaporator to a thick slurry. Methylene chloride (1.5 L) was added and the white precipitate was filtered off and washed with methylene chloride. The filtrate was dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), filtered through a pad of silica gel, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give 196.8 g (92% yield) of (S)-5-iodomethyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-2-pyrrolidinone as an off-white solid, mp 92°-94° C. (cyclohexane). 1 h NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.7-2.75 (m, 4 H, CH2), 3.18-3.28 (m, 2 H, CH2I), 3.42 (m, 1 H, NCH), 3.98 and 4.05 (AB, 2 H, Jgem =15 Hz, CH2Ph), 7.20 (m, 5 H, phenyl). [α]25D =+12.11 (c 0.35, methanol). Anal. Calcd for C12H14NOI: C, 45.73; H, 4.48; N, 4.44. Found: C, 45.58; H, 4.35; N, 4.22.
