Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 4-((3-(dimethylamino)pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reactor is charged with 1.2 g (4.06 mmol) of the compound obtained in step 2, 0.55 g (4.88 mmol) of 3-dimethylaminopyrrolidine, 2.8 g (20.3 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 25 ml acetone. The mixture is heated for 6 hours at reflux. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and 100 ml of water is then added. The obtained solution is extracted with 3*30 ml ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried on sodium sulphate and then evaporated under reduced pressure to give the expected product (0.8 g, 61%),
