To a 0° C. solution of (±)-(4R*,5R*)-5-formyl-1-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one (Intermediate Z, 74 mg, 0.4 mmol) in anhyd. THF (5 mL) was added a solution of m-tolyl magnesium chloride (1M in THF, 0.5 mL, 0.5 mmol, 1.25 equiv). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, then treated with a saturated NH4Cl solution and water. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated (Et2O/hex) to give (±)-(4R*,5R*)-5-[(1R*)hydroxy(3-methylphenyl)methyl]-1-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one (82 mg, 77%): mp 163-165° C.; TLC (EtOAc) Rf 0.45.
