Procedure

In an atmosphere of nitrogen, 0.5 mol/l of 2-furylmagnesium bromide (180 ml) prepared from furan was added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran solution (160 ml) of N-methyl-N-methoxy-1-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxamide (8.30 g, 30.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction solution was mixed with 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid (200 ml) under ice-cooling and extracted with ethyl acetate (200 ml×2), and then the organic layer was washed with saturated brine (100 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure and the resulting residue was applied to a silica gel column chromatography. By eluting with a n-hexane:ethyl acetate system of from (1:1) to (1:2), 3.94 g (46%) of the title compound was obtained as a light yellow oil.
