Reaction Steps

KHMDS (0.5M in toluene, 6.536 mL, 3.268 mmol) was added to a suspension of Ph3PCH3Br (1.216 g, 3.404 mmol) in THF (15 mL) at rt. After 1 h, benzyl 3-(3-bromophenyl)-3-formylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate was added at −20 and then the cold bath was removed. After 2 h, the reaction was quenched with MeOH (2 mL) and sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate was added. The mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate and then dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated.
