1-Phenylmethyl-3-formylpyrrolidine is prepared from 1-phenylmethyl-3-hydroxymethyl pyrrolidine (source: method of U.S. Pat. No. 3,318,908) by reacting it with pyridinium chlorochromate and converted to the corresponding 3-epoxide using dimethyloxosulfonium methylide obtained by mixing trimethylsulfoxonium iodide and sodium hydride in aprotic solvent. The epoxide is reacted with sodium phenoxide and the reaction mixture is acidified to give 1-phenylmethyl-α-phenoxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol which is hydrogenated over palladium on carbon to give the free base of the title compound. The free base is converted to the hydrochloride salt as in Example 38.
