Reaction Steps

Analogous to the procedure described for Example 1A, Step D, the anion derived from 5-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-phenyl-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (262.8 mg, 0.756 mmol) and NaHMDS (0.83 mL, 0.83 mmol) was reacted with 4-(3-bromo-propyl)-benzonitrile (186 mg, 0.832 mmol) at 70° C. for 24 h. Purification by medium pressure chromatography (5:1 hexanes:EtOAc to 1:1 hexanes:EtOAc to 1% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) provided 4-(3-{2-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-phenyl-butyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl}-propyl)-benzonitrile (257.6 mg). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.56 (m, 2H), 7.26 (m, 5H), 7.13 (m, 2H), 3.85 (m, 1H), 3.62 (m, 1H), 3.48 (m, 1H), 2.93 (m, 1H), 2.82–2.60 (m, 4H), 2.29 (m, 2H), 1.88–1.25 (m, 7H); MS 491.5 (M+1).
