A 15.58 g (82.3 mmol) sample of the ketone from step d was reduced to the alcohol by dissolving it in 32 mL of ethanol and adding the solution dropwise to a stirred suspension of sodium borohydride (3.11 g, 82.3 mmol) in 32 mL of ethanol at 0° C. The suspension was then stirred for 30 min at 0° C. and for 4 hours at room temperature. The solvent was then removed and the residue suspended in water. The product was extracted with methylene chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by evaporation under vacuum. The crude product was purified in a kugelrohr apparatus (160°-180° C. @ 1.0 Torr) to yield 1-benzyl-4-methyl-3-pyrrolidinol, MS M/Z 192 (M+H); NMR (CDCl3) d 1.04 (d, 3H, J=7.5 Hz), 1.90 (dd, 1H, J=7.5 Hz, J=9.0 Hz), 2.14 (m, 1H), 2.55 (dd, 1H, J=6.0 Hz, J=10.5 Hz), 2.82 (dd, 1H, J=3.0 Hz, J=10.5 Hz), 3.13 (dd, 1H, J=3.0 Hz, J=3.0 Hz), 3.82 (m, 2H), 3.95 (m, 1H), 7.33 (m, 5H).
