Procedure: In a 50 ml 3 necked flask, fitted with magnetic stirrer and reflux condenser under inert atmosphere, 1 g (4.44 mmoles, 1 eq) of (2S)-2-[4-(azidomethyl)-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl]butanamide 32 is suspended in 20 ml of toluene. 1.55 g (4.88 mmoles, 1.1 eq) of 1-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetone are added, and the mixture is heated up to 80° C. for 24 hours. After cooling down, the mixture is concentrated to dryness and purified by Prep LC (1 kg SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 94.5:5:0.5). It is suspended in 15 ml of water and lyophilised to give 240 mg of pure 52 as a clear oil, 42%. After cooling down the mixture is concentrated to dryness purified by Prep LC (1 kg SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 94.5:5:0.5)
