Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 3.7 g of ethyl p-formylphenylacetate, 5.2 g of pyrrolidinocyclopentene and 20 ml of benzene was heated under reflux for 13 hours. After cooling, 5 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid and 5 ml of water were added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. To the mixture added 100 ml of benzene, a benzene layer was separated, washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Thereafter, the benzene was distilled off and the residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography. Elution was effected with benzene-ethyl acetate 50:1 to give an oily substance, which was then distilled under reduced pressure to afford 0.5 g of an oily substance having a boiling point of 175°-180° C./0.3 mmHg (bath temp.).
