Pyrrolidine → 2-Pyrrolidin-1-yl-5-thiophen-2-yl-benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ex-63A: A solution of 2-fluoro-5-thiophen-2-yl-benzaldehyde (1.42 g, 6.89 mmol) in pyrrolidine was refluxed (10 mL). After 4.5 days the reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution of ethyl acetate was washed with hydrochloric acid (0.5M) sodium carbonate (2M) and saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography. Elution with ethyl acetate (20%, v/v, in hexane) afforded 2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-5-thiophen-2-yl-benzaldehyde (0.5 g, 32%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 10.14 (s, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (dd, J=2.7, 9 Hz, 1H), 7.22–7.20 (m, 2H), 7.07–7.04 (m, 1H), 6.86 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 3.41 (m, 4H), 2.01 (m, 4H).
