Procedure: Trimethylborate (1.74 mL, 15.4 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of (S)-(−)-alpha,alpha-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (3.24 g, 12.8 mol) in tetrahydrofaran (350 mL) at room temperature. After 1.25 h, borane-methyl sulfide complex (70.4 mL of a 2M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.141 mol) was added slowly and a gentle effervesence was observed. The resulting soution was cooled to approximately 0° C. and a solution of 1-(2-bromo-5-chlorophenyl)ethanone (˜30.0 g, 0.128 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) was then added uniformly over 1 h. After the addition, the resulting mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and aged overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to approximately one quarter of its original volume, poured into 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (9% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent) afforded the title compound as a colorless solid (98:2 enantiomer ratio). After the addition to warm to ambient temperature and aged overnight The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to approximately one quarter of its original volume poured into 1N hydrochloric acid extracted three times with ethyl acetate The combined organic extracts were washed with brine dried (MgSO4) concentrated in vacuo Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (9% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent)

The resulting solution was cooled to approximately 0° C. and a solution of 1-(2-bromo-5-chlorophenyl)ethanone (3-3) (30.0 g, 0.128 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) was then added uniformly over 1 h. After the addition, the resulting mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and aged overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to approximately one quarter of its original volume, poured into 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (9% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent) afforded 3-4 as a colorless solid (25.8 g; 98:2 S/R enantiomeric ratio).

Procedure: Methylmagnesium bromide (4.26 mL of a 1.4M solution in tetrahydrofuran/toluene, 5.97 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-bromo-5-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (3-1) (0.554 g, 1.99 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at approximately 0° C. After 1 h, 1N hydrochloric acid (5 mL) was added and the resulting biphasic mixture was stirred vigorously for about 10 min. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution; 0-10% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent) provided 3-3 (0.44 g) as a colorless oil. extracted three times with ethyl acetate The combined organic extracts were washed with brine dried (MgSO4) concentrated in vacuo Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution; 0-10% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent)
