Reaction Steps

The title compound is prepared by alkylation of the (RS)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester with 2-methoxybenzylbromide giving the (RS)-1-[4-(2-methoxy-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a light yellow oil [83% of theory, MS:m/e=355 (M+H)+ which, thereupon, by treatment with methylamine in ethanol at 80° C. yields the (RS)-1-[4-(2-methoxybenzyloxy)-phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methylamide. Yield: 47% of theory as a white solid. MS: m/e=355 (M+H)+.
