3,3-Dimethylbutylamine → N-(3-fluoro-2-(3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)benzylidene)-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Fluoro-2-(3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)benzaldehyde (403.8 mg, 1.912 mmol) was taken in toluene (15 mL) and 3,3-dimethylbutan-1-amine (193.5 mg, 257.3 μL, 1.912 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight with a Dean Stark trap to remove the water. The reaction mixture was concentrated to give crude N-(3-fluoro-2-(3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)benzylidene)-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-amine which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
