Procedure

To a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (0.8 g) in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added (2S-trans)-4-cyclohexyl-5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (2.0 g) in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After the addition, the mixture was refluxed for 24 hours, cooled to 0° C., quenched with ethyl acetate followed by saturated sodium sulphate solution, filtered, and the filtrate dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate. Removal of the solvent followed by crystallization yielded 0.7 g of (2S-trans)-4-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol as white crystals, melting point 98°-99° C.
