Reaction Steps

Methylate 5-benzylpyrrolidin-2-one with methyl iodide in the presence of potassium carbonate in ethyl methyl ketone; nitrate the thus-obtained 5-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one with nitric acid/sulfuric acid, pour the resulting reaction product onto ice water, extract it with methylene chloride, evaporate solvent from the extract and hydrogenate the thus-obtained 1-methyl-5-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyrrolidin-2-one with platinum/hydrogen without further purification to obtain 5-(4-aminobenzyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one.
