Procedure
55.6 g (0.2 mol) of ethyl 2-benzyl-2,7-diazabicyclo [3.3.0]octane-7-carboxylate are heated under reflux overnight with 300 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is then rendered alkaline with potassium carbonate and extracted five times with 100 ml of chloroform each time, the extracts are dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated, and the residue is distilled.
