Procedure
The title compound was synthesized in two steps. Methyl 6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate (447 mg, 2.5 mmol) was reacted with 3-chlorobenzylmagnesium bromide (0.25 M in hexanes, 25 mL, 6.3 mmol) according to General Procedure 3 to give the exocyclic olefin-containing compound (E)-methyl 6-(3-chlorobenzylidene)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate, followed by hydrogenation according to General Procedure 6, and was purified by chromatography, eluting with heptane-EtOAc, gradient 0 to 50% EtOAc. 143 mg.
