Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(chloroacetyl)pyrrolidine (2.0 g, 13.55 mmol) and 1,2-dimethylimidazole (1.3 g, 13.5 mmol) were heated neat at 110° C. for 3 hours. To the reaction mixture was added acetonitrile (5 mL), and heating was continued for 20 minutes. Tert-butyl methylether (10 mL) was added, and the resulting mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The product was recovered by filtration, and washed with a mixture of tert-butyl methyl ether and acetonitrile (7:3 v/v, 50 mL). The crude product was recrystallized from a mixture of acetonitrile and tert-butyl methyl ether to obtain 1.23 g (41%) of a white solid; mp 191-193° C.
