Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-bromo-4-[(1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]benzoate (16 g, 53.7 mmol) in 110 mL of toluene was treated with Pd(PPh3)4 (3.1 g, 2.68 mmol) and tetramethyltin (22.3 mL, 161.1 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 135-140° C. for 36 hr in a sealed tube. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated in vacuo. The crude brown residue was purified by PrepLC (SiO2; 97:2:1 hexanes-THF-TEA) to afford 11.4 g (48.9 mmol; 91%) of the title compound as a slightly yellow oil.
