2.0 g (S)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (1-a, R1=pivaloyl) in 7.5 ml toluene is added to 26.2 ml potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (0.5 M in toluene) at −10° C. After 1 h, 568 μl ethyl chloroformate is added and the mixture is stirred for 1.5 h at −5 to 0° C. 733 Dimethylsulfate are then added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h. 8 ml saturated ammonium chloride solution are then added, along with 10 ml water and 20 ml ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic phases are then washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. According to HNMR analysis the ratio of diastereoisomers is 62:38. The residue is purified by column chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate/heptane (1:12) to afford (3R,5R)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (R1=Piv; R10=OEt; R11=Me) and (3S,5R)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (R1=Piv; R10=OEt; R11=Me). Fractions containing both diastereoisomers are combined. According to HNMR analysis the ratio of diastereoisomers is 62:38. 1H NMR (CDCl3) Major diastereomer: 1.11 (3H), 1.17 (9H), 1.23 (3H), 1.62 (1H), 2.26 (2H), 2.95 (1H), 4.07 (2H), 4.30 (1H), 7.03-7.37 (9H). 1H NMR (CDCl3) Minor diastereomer: 0.99 (3H), 1.16 (9H), 1.25 (3H), 1.51 (1H), 2.20 (2H), 3.13 (1H), 3.91 (2H), 4.34 (1H), 7.03-7.37 (9H).
