Procedure

Combine 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-(2-(4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)[1,4]diazepan-1-yl)ethyl)-3-phenylpyrrolidine (prepared from (−)-3-phenyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine(R,R)-di-p-anisoyltartaric acid salt) (0.63 g, 1.07 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). Cool to −78° C. using a dry-ice/acetone bath. Add dropwise a solution of sec-butyllithium (1.23 mL, 1.3 M, 1.61 mmol). When the addition of sec-butyllithium is complete, add a solution phenyl vinyl sulfone (0.36 g, 2.14 mmol). Heat the reaction mixture to reflux. After 12 hours, cool, add phenyl vinyl sulfone (0.36 g, 2.14 mmol) and again heat the reaction mixture to reflux. After 3 hours, cool, add phenyl vinyl sulfone (0.36 g, 2.14 mmol) and again heat the reaction mixture to reflux. After 2.5 hours, cool, add water, separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer twice with ethyl acetate. Combine the organic layers, dry over Na2SO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 0.5% concentrated aqueous ammonia solution/5% methanol/dichloromethane to give the title compound.
