Procedure

4 mg (3R/S,5S)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-iodomethyl-pyrrolidin-2-one (12-a, R1=H, R5=I) is added to ethanol (1 ml) at ambient temperature. Triethylamine (5 μl) is then added to the mixture. 0.4 mg Palladium on carbon (10%, 50% water-wet, Degussa E101 NE/W) is then added. Hydrogen gas at ambient pressure is applied to the mixture. The mixture is then stirred overnight at ambient temperature and pressure. The mixture is then filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford (3R,5S)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (3-a, R1=H) and (3S,5S)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (3-b, R1=H. Ratio of diastereomers 22:88 (3-a, R1=H to 3-b, R1=H) as determined by nmr. Spectroscopic data for 3-a (R1=H) as for Example 6 in WO/2008/083967. Spectroscopic data for 3-b (R1=H) as for Example 47 in WO/2008/083967.
