Pyrrolidine → 7-Fluoro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-7-fluoro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazole-4-cabonitrile (I-130) (0.13 g, 0.45 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml), and diisopropylethylamine (92.0 μl, 0.54 mmol) and pyrrolidine (41.0 μl, 0.50 mmol) were added. This was heated under reflux for 4 hours, and diluted with dichloromethane. After washing with water and drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane to dichloromethane:methanol=100:1) to obtain a pale yellow oil (0.14 g, 98%).
