20.8 cm3 of a 1.5M solution of butyllithium in hexane is added at -70° C. to a solution of 3.8 g of 5-methoxy pyrrolidin-2-one in 160 cm3 of tetrahydrofuran. This temperature is maintained for 20 minutes, then 4.69 g of benzoyl chloride in solution in tetrahydrofuran is added. After allowing to return to ambient temperature, the mixture is concentrated to dryness and chromatographed on silica (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate 1-1). 3 g of expected product is obtained. m.p. =92°-94° C. crystallized from isopropyl ether.
