After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and depressurized. The reaction mixture was taken out, the catalyst was filtered off, the filtrate obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure, toluene and water were added to the thus-obtained oily concentrate, and the pH was adjusted to 13 by adding dropwise 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide with stirring on an ice-water bath. The toluene layer was recovered, the aqueous layer was further extracted with toluene, and the toluene layers were combined, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and, after filtration, concentrated under reduced pressure, to give an oil. This was purified by silica gel column chromatography using, as an eluant, dichloromethane containing methanol (0% to 10%). Main fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated under vacuum to give (S)-3-(1-cyano-1,1-diphenylmethyl)-pyrrolidine in a yield of 84 mole percent.
