To a mixture of 3.5 g of 5-(n-hexyloxy)-pyrrolidin-2-one, 1.58 g of potassium hydroxide hydrated to 85% and 0.35 g of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide in 50 cm3 of tetrahydrofuran, there is added, at 20° C. to 25° C. a solution of 3.23 g of benzyl bromide in 20 cm3 of tetrahydrofuran. After agitating for 1 hour at ambient temperature, filtering, evaporating to dryness and chromatographing the residue on silica (eluent: ethyl acetate--n-hexane, 1-2), 3.64 g of the expected product is obtained.
