Cyclopentylamine → HCID 15067920, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.26 g (0.01 mol) of (8β)-1-isopropyl-6-methylergoline-8-hydrazide dissolved in 25 ml of hydrochloric acid and 100 ml of water at a temperature of about 5° C. was added 55 ml of a solution of 0.2N sodium nitrite dropwise over a period of about five minutes. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for approximately five minutes and sufficient saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added dropwise until the pH of the mixture was basic. The mixture was extracted with three 200 ml portions of diethyl ether. The organic extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. To the resulting filtrate was added a solution of 2.55 g (0.03 mol) of cyclopentylamine dissolved in 50 ml of DMF. The resulting mixture was stored at a temperature of about 5° C. overnight. The solvent was decanted from the resulting oil. The oil was slurried in acetonitrile and the solvent was again decanted. The resulting solid was recrystallized from acetonitrile to provide 1.23 g of the desired compound. m/e=379.
