Reaction Steps

Allow 3.25 g of 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)-1-methylpyrrolidine to stand for 24 hours in 30 ml of acetic anhydride/pyridine 1:1. Concentrate the resulting reaction mixture under a vacuum and distil off the residue to obtain 3.5 g (76% of theory) of the title compound in the form of a yellowish oil (b.p. 135° to 140° at 0.005 mm of Hg) which, on standing, solidifies to a crystalline mass of m.p. 44° to 45°.
