Procedure

Crude (R)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-[1-dimethylaminometh-(E/Z)-ylidene]-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (7-a, R1=Boc, R6=Me, R7=Me) (66.7 g) is dissolved in THF (340 ml) and cooled to 10° C. Sulphuric acid (96%; 6.9 ml) is added followed by water (152 ml). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. Phases are separated. The organic phase is added to formaldehyde solution (37% in water; 138 ml). 1% Tetra-n-butylammoniumhydroxide solution (14.2 ml) is added. Potassium carbonate (27.8 g) is added portionwise over 0.5 h. Sodium hydroxide solution (15.1 g) is added over 3 h, maintaining pH 10.5. The phases are separated. The organic phase is washed with water (100 ml) followed by sodium bisulfite solution (21.4 g). Toluene (100 ml) and sodium chloride solution (50 ml) added. The phases are separated. The organic phase is extracted with sodium chloride solution (20%; 50 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give (R)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylene-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4-a, R1=Boc) (63 g). Material can be recrystallised as follows: crude (R)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylene-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4-a, R1=Boc) (58.4 g) is dissolved in methanol (525 ml) at 50° C. Water (175 ml) is added and the mixture is cooled to 0° C. The solid is collected by filtration and the cake washed with a mixture of methanol (53 ml) and water (18 ml). The solid is then dried in vacuo, giving (R)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylene-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4-a, R1=Boc). Spectroscopic data as in Example 23.
