Procedimiento

17.3 g (58 mmol) of crude trans-1-benzyl-3-benzylmethylamino-4-hydroxy-pyrrolidine in 80 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran are added dropwise to 2.8 g (93.3 mmol) of 80% strength sodium hydride in 40 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran and the mixture is heated under reflux at the same time. When the evolution of hydrogen has ended, 8.7 g (61 mmol) of methyl iodide are added dropwise and the mixture is then heated under reflux overnight. It is poured into ice-water and extracted with toluene, the extracts are dried with K2CO3 and concentrated and the residue is distilled.
