Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 12.3 g. of 1-benzyl-3,4-epoxypyrrolidine, 18.0 g. of p-chlorophenol and 3 drops of water was heated at 120° C. under nitrogen gas for 20 hr. The mixture was cooled and dissolved in 100 ml. diethyl ether. The ethereal solution was extracted with 2×50 ml. 5% sodium hydroxide and then washed with water. After being dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated and the residue weighed 14.3 g. Two crystallizations from cyclohexane gave 4.7 g. (29%) of analytically pure product which melted at 101°-104° C.
