Procedure

Lithium aluminum hydride (80%, 3.89 g) was suspended in diethyl ether (90 mL). While the suspension was chilled in an ice bath, cis-1-benzyl-4-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarbonitrile (4.11 g) in diethyl ether (25 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Subsequently, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (8 mL) was carefully added dropwise while the reaction mixture was chilled in an ice water bath. The reaction mixture was then diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL) and the insoluble material was filtered and was washed with diethyl ether. The filtrate and the washings were combined and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane: ethyl acetate=1:1->ethyl acetate: methanol=10:1) to give cis-1-benzyl-4-methyl-3-aminomethylpyrrolidine as a pale yellow oil (2.35 g).
