Procedure
Combine 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-3-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-3-(allyl)-2-oxopyrrolidine (0.677 g, 1.64 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). Add dropwise a solution of 9-BBN (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) (5.56 mL, 0.5 M, 2.78 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran. After 1.5 hours, add dropwise an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL, 1 M) and 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (1.5 mL, about 14.7 mmol). After 15 minutes heat the reaction mixture to reflux. After 1 hour, cool to ambient temperature, saturate the aqueous mixture with potassium carbonate and separate the layers. Extract the aqueous layer five times with diethyl ether. Combine the organic layers and dry over potassium carbonate, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 5% methanol/dichloromethane to give the title compound.
