Diisopropylamine → HCID 68547099, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.25 ml of n-butyllithium (1.6M in hexane) are added dropwise to a solution to 0.29 ml of diisopropylamine and 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran at −78° C. After 30 minutes, a solution, cooled to −78° C., of 0.31 g of 1-trimethylsilanylpyrrolidin-2-one and 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred for a further 30 minutes and then a solution of 0.27 g of 6,7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-8-one [426219-51-4] and 5 ml tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour and then at 0° C. for 2 hours. The mixture is quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution/water (1:1), the tetrahydrofuran is evaporated, and the residue is extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organic phases are dried with sodium sulphate and evaporated. The title compound is identified from the residue by flash chromatography (SiO2 60F) on the basis of the Rf.
