To a stirred solution of (R)-ethyl 3-(N-benzyloxycarbonylpyrrolidin-2-yl)-2-propenoate (574 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5.7 L) at about -78° C. was added boron trifluoride etherate (295.4 g) and then diisobutylaluminum hydride (1.5M in toluene, 3.91 L, 3.1 eq) added (over two hours) maintaining the temperature below -62° C. The resulting solution was stirred (between -78° and -62° C.) for three hours and then quenched into aqueous citric acid solution (2 kg citric acid in 5 L water plus 4 L ice) over about 40 minutes. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate (2×2.1 L). The combined organic solution was dried (over magnesium sulphate) and evaporated, then the residual oil purified by chromatography through silica gel, eluting with mixed ethyl acetate/hexane (9:1 to 4:1) to give the title compound as an oil (260 g), as produced in Example 12A (as an alternative, the residual oil can be purified by chromatography through silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:1)).
