A solution of diazomethane in diethyl ether was added dropwise to the reaction mixture over 21/2 hours. The reaction mixture was warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 12 hours. The solvent was evaporated from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure to provide 1,2,3-trimethyl-3-phenyl-1,2-methylene pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate as a solid. M.P. 151°-155° C.
