Mode opératoire

244 μl of methyl iodide and 300 mg of sodium bicarbonate were added, whilst ice-cooling, to a solution of 1.00 g of (2S, 4S)-4-(4-methoxybenzylthio)-2-methylcarbamoylpyrrolidine [prepared as described in step (4) above] dissolved in 6 ml of dry dimethylformamide. The mixture was then stirred at 0° to 5° C. for 1 hour and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was poured into an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography through silica gel (eluted with a 10:1 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and methanol), to afford 222 mg of the title compound as colorless crystals, melting at 82°-84° C.
