Procedure

1-Benzyl 3-methyl 3-methylpyrrolidine-1,3-dicarboxylate (2.72 g, 9.81 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) was added to a 3M LiOH solution (14.7 mL, 29.4 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 78° C. (bath) for 1 hour. The ethanol was removed and, ether (30 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was separated and acidified with saturated potassium hydrogen sulfate to a pH of about 3 to about 4, extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent, 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3-methylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (2.56 g, 99% yield) was isolated as an oil.
