A new and convenient method for the formation of N-alkyl-2-tributylstannyl-
pyrrolidines from N-Boc-2-tributylstannyl-pyrrolidine has been developed. T
he procedure uses N-Boc deprotection, followed by rapid base wash and reduc
tive amination with an aldehyde and NaBH3CN in nitromethane. (C) 2000 Elsev
