Benzaldehyde → HCID 60130838, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzaldehyde (21.2 g; 0.20 mol) was added, dropwise, to a solution of 3-aminopyrrolidine (17.2 g; 0.20 mol) in toluene (80 ml). The solution thus obtained was stirred at room temperature. After 3 h the solvent was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure and the residue was taken up twice with toluene. 21 g N-(phenylmethylene)pyrrolidine-3-amine was thus obtained, and was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
