To a solution of (R)-5-hydroxymethyl-3,3-dimethyl-pyrrolidin-2-one (4.0 g, 28 mmol), prepared as described in Tetrahedron 1998, 54 10295-10307, and ethyl vinyl ether (4 mL, 42 mmol) in chloroform (26 mL), was added a catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid (0.056 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred for four hours at room temperature. The solution was then washed with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The crude oil obtained after evaporating the solvent, was purified by chromatography on silica gel using hexane:ethyl acetate 1:1 as a solvent, giving 2.6 g of (R)-5-(1-ethoxy-ethoxymethyl)-3,3-dimethyl-pyrrolidin-2-one.
