Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of the product of Step C (27 g, 91.2 mmole) in 183 mL of methanol was added benzaldehyde (11.1 mL, 109 mmole) followed by pyrrolidine (9.1 mL, 109 mmole). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, cooled to 0° C. and filtered. The solid was washed once with 50 mL of ice-cold methanol and then dried in vacuo; 35.2 g, (75% yield) of the title product was recovered. M.P. 133°-135° C.
