Reaction Steps

Nicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride, represented by formula (XII), (0.1 mole, 17.81 grams) was slowly added to a mixture of hexahydro-1H-furo(3,4-c)pyrrole, represented by formula (X), (0.1 mole, 11.3 grams), and triethylamine (0.2 mole, 20.24 grams) in 160 ml of benzene at 15°C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at 15°C. and then left overnight at room temperature. The HCl salt of triethylamine was filtered and the salt was washed with benzene. The washings were combined with the filtrate and benzene was stripped under vacuum. The product, 5-nicotinoyl-hexahydro-1H-furo(3,4-c)pyrrole, represented by formula (XIII), light yellow viscous liquid, was purified by column chromatography (Alumina-eluted with methyl acetate).
