Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 7-iodo-2-methyl-4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-quinoline (1.50 g, 4.43 mmol), potassium cyanide (578 mg, 8.87 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (256 mg, 0.22 mmol), and copper iodide (85 mg, 0.44 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was refluxed for 90 min. After cooling the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered, and the filtrate was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated. Chromatography (SiO2, dichloromethane/methanol 19:1) yielded the title compound (791 mg, 75%). Light brown solid, ISP-MS: m/e=238.3 ([M+H]+).
