Procedure

A mixture of 40 g. of crude 1-benzyl-3,4-epoxypyrrolidine and 70 g. of guaiacol was heated at 120° C. for 20 hr. Aspirator vacuum was then used to distill off the excess guaiacol. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride and extracted with dilute sodium hydroxide. The methylene chloride solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated. The residue weighed 54 g., was chromatographed on 1 kg. of silica gel. The product was eluted with 50% ethyl acetate in benzene and crystallized from cyclohexane. The m.p. was 115°-117° C. and the yield was 27%.
