Procedure
3-Amino-1-benzylpyrrolidine [J. Med. Chem., 11, 1034 (1968)] was allowed to react with formic acid and formamide to give 1-benzyl-3-formylaminopyrrolidine. This compound was reduced with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)-aluminium hydride to give 1-benzyl-3-methylaminopyrrolidine, b.p. 134°-136° C./5-6 mmHg. This compound was treated with acetic anhydride to give 3-(N-acetyl-N-methylamino)-1-benzylpyrrolidine, b.p. 144°-147° C./0.5 mmHg. This compound was hydrogenated catalytically in the presence of 5% palladium-carbon to give 3-(N-acetyl-N-methylamino)-pyrrolidine as an oil.
