Ethanolic sodium ethoxide, previously prepared from 2.9 g of metallic sodium and 100 ml of ethanol, was added to diethyl methyl-malonate, 50 g, and the mixture was refluxed for 30 min. then cooled to 5°. A solution of 2-methylenequinuclidin-3-one, 39.4 g, in ethanol, 50 ml, was then added dropwise and with stirring. After 16 hrs. at room temperature, the resulting solution was neutralized with acetic acid then subjected to evaporation at reduced pressure. Water, 100 ml was added and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. Evaporation of this solvent gave diethyl (3-oxo quinuclidin-2-yl)-methyl-methylmalonate, 72 g (81%), m.p., 58.4° (from petroleum ether). A solution of the foregoing compound, 72 g, in ethanol, 50 ml, was treated at 5° and with stirring with a solution of sodium borohydride, 3.55 g, in ethanol, 600 ml. The borohydride solution was added in small increments over a period of six hours. After 20 hours, the mixture was neutralized with concentrated hydrochloric acid, then subjected to evaporation at reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in 200 ml of water and extracted with chloroform. Evaporation of this solvent left a syrupy residue, 55 g, which consisted of the compound diethyl (3-hydroxyquinucldin-2-yl)methyl-methylmalonate; its methiodide salt, prepared with methyl iodide in acetone, has a m.p. of 228.2°.
