Isopropyl iodide → HCID 22236567, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.75 g of (+)-5-[3-(2-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl]-1H-pyridin-2-one (example 2) are dissolved in 170 ml of toluene. 14.2 g of Na2CO3, followed by 6.9 ml of isopropyl-iodide are added to the solution which is stirred at 100° overnight. Subsequently, another 3.4 g of isopropyliodide are added and stirring continued for additional 17 hours. The reaction solution is extracted with water and the combined organic phases dried and evaporated resulting in an oily residue which is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using CH2Cl2/MeOH/conc. aqueous NH4OH 95/4.5/0.5 as solvent system which provides (+)-1-Isopropyl-5-[3-(2-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl]-1H-pyridin-2-one {[αD25]=+19.7° (c=1.0, EtOH); MS (Cl): MH+=327; NMR (DMSO, 120°): 1.3 (6H, d), 1.95 (1H, m), 2.3 (1H, m), 2.7-3.4 (4H, m), 3.6-3.8 (3H, m), 3.8 (3H, s), 5.0 (1H, q), 6.35 (1H, d) 6.9-7.0 (2H, m), 7.2 (1H, t), 7.3 (1H, m), 7.4 (1H, m), 7.6 (1H, m)} and (+)-2-Isopropoxy-5-[3-2-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl]-1H-pyridine {[αD25]=+22.8° (c=1.0, EtOH); MS (EI): M+=326; NMR (DMSO): 1.3 (6H, d), 1.75 (1H, m), 2.15 (1H, m), 2.4 (1H, t), 2.65 (2H, m), 2.8 (1H, t), 3.5-3.65 (3H, m), 3.75 (3H, s), 5.2 (1H, m), 6.7 (1H, d), 6.85-6.95 (2H, m), 7.15 (1H, t), 7.3 (1H, d), 7.6 (1H, m), 8.05 (1H, s)}
