To a mixture of 4.4 g of 1-benzyl-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (M. J. Kornet et al., J. Org. Chem., 33:3637–3639(1968)) and 3 g of formamide in 10 mL of anhydrous DMF heated to 100° C. was added a solution of sodium methoxide, from 0.33 g of sodium dissolved in methanol, dropwise over 20 min. After stirring for 1 h at 100° C., the mixture was allowed to cool to rt and added to 100 mL of isopropanol. The mixture was concentrated to dryness. The resulting residue was triturated with 200 mL of chloroform, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The resulting oil was fairly homogeneous by TLC (development with 90:10 chloroform saturated with ammonia: methanol):
