After 30 minutes, the mixture is allowed to warm to RT for 12 hours. For work-up, 50 ml of water are added, and the mixture is extracted to exhaustion with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate, evaporated and purified by chromatography on silica gel, giving 4.5 g of 5-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole as a colourless oil, which is employed in the next reaction; Rt.: 1.303 min; [M+H]+208.
