Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4.00 g (22.7 mmol) of 1-benzyl-3-aminopyrrolidine was dissolved in 70 ml of methanol, 1.49 ml (22.7 mmol) of acrylonitrile was added thereto, and the mixture was heated to 70° C. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was evaporated, and the resulting crude product was subjected to 100 g of Cromatorex NH silica gel (ethyl acetate 100%), to give 4.60 g (20.1 mmol, 88.4%) of the title compound as a yellow oil.
