A stereoselective process for the manufacture of bicyclopyrrolidine 7 to 2 has been developed. The process utilizes a stereoselective lithiation/carboxylation sequence. The achiral diamine ligand DPBP induces excellent diastereocontrol, and resolution with (S)-THNA provides the corresponding salt of 8 in high er and dr. Subsequent processing of 8 gives 2 as the oxalate salt in an overall yield of 27% from 7 (based on total molar charge of 7). Compound 2 was obtained with high chemical and chiral purities. The process was successfully demonstrated on >100 kg scale.
