Popis: A large scale synthesis for (-)-3-PPP has been developed. The racemic methoxy compound 1 was prepared in a three step procedure in 63% yield. This was resolved as a diastereomeric salt by crystallization of the (-)-di-p-toluoyltartrate. Two crystallizations gave the pure (-)-enantiomer 2 in 50% of the theoretical yield and with an enantiomeric excess of >95%. Demethylation using aqueous HBr gave (-)-3-PPP, ( 3 ). Compound 2 was also prepared in a stereoselective synthesis from S -(-)- N-propyl-2- chloromethylpyrrolidine 4 . By X-ray crystallography it was shown that (-)-3-PPP has the S -configuration at the chiral carbon.
