Procedure

The mixture of (R/S)-3-Isobutyryl-(S)-5-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4a, R1=t-butoxycarbonyl, R4=isopropyl) (0.84 g, 2 mmol), formaldehyde (37% in water, 0.49 g, 6 mmol), tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide (26 mg, 0.1 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.55 g, 1.3 mmol, dissolved in 2 mL water) in 10 mL dry tetrahydrofuran was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 2 hours. Then the reaction mixture is diluted with 10 mL brine and stirred for 15 min, stop stirring, and remove the lower aqueous layer. the organic phase is then concentrated in vacuo. ethyl acetate 20 mL is added, filtered and the filtrate concentrated and purified by column chromatography eluting with 5:1 heptane/ethyl acetate to afford (R)-5-Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl-3-methylene-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butylester (1a, R1=t-butoxycarbonyl). Spectroscopic data as reported in WO2009/090251 (Example 23, Method 1).
