Participants

Reaction Steps

As shown in the above Reaction Scheme 1, 1,5-dibromopentane is reacted with potassium phthalimide in a suitable solvent to give N-(5-bromopentyl)phthalimide (2). The compound (2) is reacted with pyrrolidine in the presence of potassium carbonate and sodium iodide to give N-(5-pyrrolidin-1-ylpentyl)phthalimide (3). The compound (3) is reacted with hydrazine to provide 5-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentylamine (4). The compound (4) is reacted with di-t-butyl dicarbonate to give t-butyl (5-pyrrolidin-1-ylpentyl) carbamate (5). Then, the compound (5) is reacted with lithium aluminum hydride in a suitable solvent to give N-methyl-N-[5-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentyl]amine (6).
