Procedure

To a stirred solution of (S)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol (44.3 g, 0.25 mol) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (33.7 g, 0.3 mol) in 250 mL of MTBE under nitrogen at 0° C., was added p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (52.4 g, 0.275 mol) portion-wise over 20 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight (20±5 hours). EtOAc (100 mL) was added, followed by saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (250 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (250 mL); saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (250 mL); saturated aqueous NaCl solution (250 mL); and then dried over sodium sulfate (80 g). The sodium sulfate was filtered off and washed with EtOAc (20 mL) and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give 78.2 g of intermediate (1a) as an off-white solid (94% yield). HPLC analysis was conducted using a YMC ODSA C18 4.6×50 mm column, having a 5.0 micron particle size. Detection was by UV absorbance at 220 nm. The mobile phases employed were as follows (percentage by volume): A: MeOH/water/TFA (10/90/0.1; and B: MeOH/water/TFA (90/10/0.1). Using a flow rate of 4.0 mL/min of 0 to 100% B in A over 5 minutes, this intermediate was determined to have a purity of 95%.
