Potassium Carbonate → HCID 23361293, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[1-(2-phenylethyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]phenol (0.83 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added methyl isocyanate (0.20 ml) followed by milled potassium carbonate (0.51 g) at ambient temperature, under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hrs, filtered through a pad of celite, and the solids were washed with ethyl acetate. The combined filtrates were concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel 30-75% ether/heptane). The appropriate fractions were collected and concentrated to afford 0.84 g (84%) of product. The analytical sample was prepared by flushing the compound through alumina with ether.
