Procedure

A 14.94 g quantity of sodium trifluoroacetate was dissolved in 100 g of methanol, and 18.20 g of N-methoxymethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium chloride was added to the solution at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, concentrated in a vacuum and dried in a vacuum using a vacuum pump. The residue was dissolved in 500 ml of dichloromethane, followed by filtration with a membrane filter, concentration in a vacuum and drying, affording 26.52 g of a colorless liquid as the desired product.
