60. Initially we investigated the direct pyrrolizidine ring formation employing the N-benzylated derivative of 15a via the quaternary ammonium salt, however, these reactions resulted in the formation of a complex mixture including N-mesylated compounds and gave the desired product 16a in very low yield (10∼15%).
