Analogous to the procedure described for Example 1A, Step B, 5-[4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-oxo-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (2.64 g, 10.6 mmol) was reduced with NaBH4 (400 mg, 10.5 mmol) at room temperature for 1 h. Additional NaBH4 (150 mg, 3.95 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 20 h. Purification by medium pressure chromatography using a solvent gradient (CH2Cl2 to 2% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to 4% MeOH in CH2Cl2) provided 5-[4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (2.01 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.14 (m, 2H), 6.98 (m, 2H), 6.78 (m, 1H), 3.76 (m, 1H), 3.65 (m, 1H), 2.76 (m, 1H), 2.64 (m, 1H), 2.32–2.18 (m, 4H), 1.72–1.47 (m, 5H).
