Abstract The (+/−)‐ cis ‐5‐arylcarbamoyl‐2‐ethoxycarbonylpyrrolidines 6a–g were firstly synthesized in 53–64% yields by using meso ‐diethyl‐2,5‐dibromoadipate 3 and ( S )‐(−)‐1‐phenylethylamine in three steps. The diastereomeric mixture ( S ;2 S ,5 R )‐(−)‐7 and ( S ;2 R ,5 S )‐(+)‐8 were prepared by the Grignard reaction and separated by a flash column chromatography in 29 and 52% yields. The absolute configurations of (+)‐8 was confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis and the enantiopure pyrrolidines (2 S ,5 R )‐(−)‐9/(2 R ,5 S )‐(+)‐9 and (2 S ,5 R )‐(−) ‐ 10/(2 R ,5 S )‐(+)‐10 were obtained in good yields.
