Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(hydroxymethyl)-4-propylpyrrolidin-2-one x2 (0.472 g, 1 eq, 3 mmol), (2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl diethylcarbamate x6 (38.5 mg, 5 mol %, 0.15 mmol) and 2-chloro-1H-benzimidazole x163 (1.2 eq, 3.3 mmol, 0.504 g) in acetonitrile (3 ml) is irradiated in a microwave apparatus (CEM discover) during 0.75 h (100 w). After cooling, evaporation of the solvent under reduce pressure and purification by preparative chromatography on reverse phase, 1-[(2-chloro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]-4-propyl-pyrrolidin-2-one 300 is isolated as a clear oil (0.42 g).
