Furfural → 1-Pyrrolidinecarboxaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

BLE 04136D was prepared in accordance with method D using 2-furaldehyde (0.449 mL, 5.42 mmol), KOH (0.276 mg, 4.92 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) and 2-isocyano-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone BLE 04098 (0.75 g, 5.42 mmol). After work-up the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, cyclohexane:EtOAc=100:0 to 0:100) to led, after evaporation, to trans-5-(furan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methanone BLE 04138D (0.742 g, 58.5% yield) as a pale yellow oil.
