Reaction Steps

Preparation according to Preparation 2. Tert-butyl-3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-carboxylate (3.3 g, 11 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 mL), sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.66 g, 16.5 mmol), iodomethane (1.37 mL, 22 mmol). Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate/isooctane, 1:9 to 1:1) gave the title compound (2.65 g, 77%). MS m/z (rel. intensity, 70 eV) 257 (17), 240 (14), 171 (13), 127 (15), 57 (bp).
