Procedure

9.5 g N-Benzylsuccinimide is added to 120 ml THF and the mixture is then cooled to −78° C. A solution of 4-methylbiphenylmagnesium chloride in THF (1.3 eq) is then added. The subsequent mixture is then stirred for 2 h at −78° C. The mixture is then warmed to 10° C. and 100 ml saturated ammonium chloride solution is added. The phases are separated and the aqueous phase is extracted with toluene. The combined organic phases are washed with water then brine and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude material is crystallized from toluene to give 1-Benzyl-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-5-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-one. 1H NMR (DMSO): 1.72 (1H), 1.91 (1H), 2.27 (2H), 2.72 (1H), 2.97 (2H), 4.40 (1H), 4.55 (1H), 7.21-7.66 (14H).
