Reaktionsschritte

To a 250-mL round-bottomed flask containing 3.3 mL of 1-(4-tert-butylcyclohex-1-enyl) pyrrolidine was added 100 mL anhydrous DMF, under nitrogen. The flask was fitted with an addition funnel containing 2-bromoacetophenone (4.12 gm) in 35 mL anhydrous DMF, which was dripped into the enamine solution over 60 min. This solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 10 hr, then 90 mL water was added to the solution and it was stirred for another 11 hr, under nitrogen. The solution was then extracted twice with ethyl acetate and water, the organic layers combined and further washed with water (3×), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and rotovapped down to give a yellow oil. The oil was purified by MPLC using 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes.
