Participants

Reaction Steps

To methyl cyclopentanecarboxylate (1 g) in THF (8 ml) at −61° C. is added a solution of 2M LDA (9.8 ml). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, then 2-bromo-N,N-diethylethanamine hydrobromide (2.04 g) is added at −61° C. The mixture is stirred for 5 minutes at this temperature, then at room temperature. The solution became yellow and was diluted with water (30 ml). The organic phase is extracted twice with a brine solution (30 ml). The pH of the organic phase is adjusted to 4 with 6N HCl. After decantation, the aqueous phase is extracted with CH2Cl2 (20 ml) and the pH of aqueous phase adjusted to 12 with 6 N NaOH. After decantation, the organic phase is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue is treated with diethyl ether (10 ml) and the white solid is filtrated. Methyl 1-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]cyclopentanecarboxylate 280 is obtained as a yellow liquid after concentration of the ether solution.
