Reaction Steps

1-Benzyl-3-pyrrolidone [J. Org. Chem., 30., 740 (1965)] was allowed to react with methylmagnesium iodide to give 1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-3-methylpyrrolidine as an oil, b.p. 106° C./0.5 mmHg. This compound was treated with a mixture of acetonitrile and concentrated sulfuric acid under ice cooling to give 3-acetylamino-1-benzyl-3-methylpyrrolidine, m.p. 105°-106° C. This compound was hydrogenated catalytically in the presence of 5% palladium-carbon to give 3-acetylamino-3-methylpyrrolidine as an oil.
