Procedure

To a vigorously stirring mixture of 1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-(4-methoxy-benzyloxymethyl)-4-methyl-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (prepared from step b, 736 mg, 1.79 mmol) in 5:1 CH2Cl2/H2O (12 mL) was added 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (609.5 mg, 2.68 mmol) at room temperature and stirred for 2 h at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (25 mL) and filtered through celite, washed with CH2Cl2 (3×25 mL). The filtrate was then washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (3×30 mL), water (30 mL), brine (30 mL), dried and evaporated. The obtained residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 20→70% EtOAc/hexanes) to give 1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (373 mg, 72% yield). LC-MS: R, (retention time): 1.2 min, MS: (ES) m/z 292.2 (M+H+).
