Water → 2-(Benzyloxy)-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a dried microwave reactor, 526 mg (2.0 mmol) of 2-(benzyloxy)-6-bromopyridine and 1.70 ml (20 mmol) of pyrrolidine were placed, and the mixture was reacted using microwave at 150° C. for 10 min. The reaction mixture was mixed with 20 ml of water, extracted twice with 100 ml portions of ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was separated dried over anhydrous and kept under a reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue thus obtained was subjected to column chromatography using 10% ethyl acetate/hexane as an eluent to obtain 485 mg (yield 95%) of 2-(benzyloxy)-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridine.
