Vinylene carbonate → HCID 14685514, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of (±) 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-3-carboxamide (D2) (2.3 g; 0.015 moles) and vinylene carbonate (1.33 g; 0.016 moles) in polyphosphoric acid was placed in an oil bath at 120° and the temperature was raised to 180° over a period of 45 min. After cooling the reaction was treated with ice and washed with ether (100 ml). The pH of the aqueous solution was adjusted to 9 with 40% sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate was then added until saturation point. Extraction with ether (4×100 ml) followed by drying (Na2SO4) and concentration in vacuo afforded a crude oil (1.45 g). Purification on neutral alumina (Brockmann grade 1) using a graded eluant of 2%-6% methanol in ethyl acetate produced the title compound as a pale yellow oil (0.74 g; 28%) which was converted into the oxalate salt, m.p. 98°-101° C. (acetone-methanol).
