Procedure

Bromoethane (27.2 g, 0.25 mol) was added during 1 h to a stirred suspension of L-proline (11.5 g, 0.1 mol), potassium carbonate (27.6 g, 0.2 mol), and tris (3,6-dioxaheptyl)amine (TDA-1) (6.5 g, 0.02 mol) in dichloromethane (90 ml) at 25° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 43 h at 26°-27° C. Water (100 ml) was added and after stirring for a short while at room temperature, the two homogeneous phases were separated. The waterphase was extracted with another portion of dichloromethane (150 ml). The combined organic phases were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated affording 14.4 g of a yellow liquid.
