Reaction Steps

4.48 g of commercially available (2S,4S)-Boc-4-phenyl-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (15.37 mmol) were dissolved in 50 ml dimethylformamide. 2.59 g of potassium carbonate (18.76 mmol) and 2.66 g of methyl iodide (18.76 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred for 48 h at room temperature. Standard work-up with ethyl acetate yielded 5.3 of the product.
