Reaction Steps

4-propyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-1-ylmethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one x264 (0.182 g, 0.88 mmol) is dissolved in absolute THF (3 ml). A solution of N-chlorosuccinimide (0.118 g, 1 eq) in absolute THF (1 ml) is added dropwise in a flow of argon at 0° C. The obtained solution is allowed to heat up slowly to room temperature in the cooling bath under stirring for 16 h. CCl4 (30 ml) is then added to the obtained solution. A small amount of a precipitate is filtered off, and the filtrate is evaporated. 1-[(2-chloro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)methyl]-4-propylpyrrolidin-2-one 299 is isolated from the residue by reverse-phase HPLC (eluent: acetonitrile/water).
