The antipsychotic co

monapride
1 was synthesizedin nine steps fro
m D-
alanine
2. The key steps for the synthesisof the 3-a
minopyrrolidine
moiety include a
Birch reductionof a cyclic ena
minoester and the reduction of a pyrrolidinoneto the pyrrolidine
7. Final coupling with the benzoic acidderivative
9 gave
1 as a single enantio- and diastereo
mer.
