Reaction Steps

(S)-3-Benzoyl-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-1-((E)-styryl)-pyrrolidin-2-one (4a, R1=styryl, R4=phenyl) (0.50 g, 1.1 mmol) is dissolved in 2 mL of methanol, add morpholine (125 mg, 1.4 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (66 mg, 2.2 mmol) in one portion, reflux for 2 h under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is added 10 mL of 5% HCl(aq), extract with toluene, the organic extracts are washed with saturated Na2CO3 aqueous solution and brine, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4, evaporate the solvent under vacuum, the residue is purified by column chromatography to obtain (R)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylene-1-((E)-styryl)-pyrrolidin-2-one (1a, R1=styryl). Spectroscopic data as Example 23, Method 1.
