Procedure

To a 2 M lithium diisopropylamine solution in tetrahydrofuran of −78° C. is added 1-phenylethyl-2-pyrrolidone and the mixture is stirred for 1.5 h at −78° C. Then 1-propyl bromide is added and the reaction is stirred for another 1.5 h at −78° C. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm up to 0° C. before ice-cold water with acetic acid is added and subsequently extracted 3 times with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine. Crude 1-phenethyl-3-propylpyrrolidin-2-one is obtained after removal of the solvents in vacuo. The product is purified by column chromatography.
