Pyrrolidine → N-(3-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine (1.5 mL, 18.3 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 3-nitrophenyl isocyanate (1.5 g, 9.14 mmol) in anhydrous THF (60 mL) and the mixture stirred at reflux for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was then purified by column chromatography (Flashmaster, 40-63 mesh silica gel, 50% isohexane-EtOAc) to provide the title compound as an off white solid (1.85 g, 86%); LC-MS, Rt=2.80 min (MeOH-FA), m/z 236 (MH+).
