2-Pyrrolidone → 1-(3-Morpholino-5-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared according to Procedure W using palladium (II) acetate (4.63 mg, 0.021 mmol), tetramethyl t-butyl XPhos (0.030 g, 0.062 mmol), 4-(3-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)morpholine (0.100 g, 0.412 mmol), tripotassium phosphate (0.122 g, 0.577 mmol), 2-pyrrolidinone (0.044 mL, 0.577 mmol), and tert-butanol (1 mL). Purification by column chromatography (silica; 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded 1-(3-morpholino-5-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one as an orange amorphous solid. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=292.2 (M+1).
