Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 g (11 3 mmoles) of N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine in 10 ml of dry THF was added dropwise at room temperature to a stirred slurry of 0.53 g (12.4 mmoles) of 56% NaH in 10 ml of dry THF, under nitrogen atmosphere. After 2 h the solution was cooled to 0° C. and 1.8 g (12.4 mmoles) of methyl iodide were added.
