A solution of 2-bromo-5-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydro-furo[2,3-c]pyrrol-4-one (0.16 g, 0.498 mmol) in TFA (1.8 mL) and anisole (0.2 mL) is stirred at 80° C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture is then diluted with ethyl acetate and neutralised with sat. NaHCO3. The aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate (3×) and the combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude compound is purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 1:1 petroleum ether:ethyl acetate followed by 1:4 petroleum ether:ethyl acetate, to afford the title compound (79 mg, 78%).
