Pyrrolidine → 1-[4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonyl)phenyl]ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 500 ml. of 50% aqueous pyrrolidine is treated in portions with 30.0 g. of 4-acetylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and the solution is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The resulting mixture is cooled to 0°-5° C. and the precipitated 1-(4-acetylbenzenesulfonyl)pyrrolidine is collected by filtration, washed with water and dried; m.p. 138°-139° C. after crystallizations from aqueous methanol and from 2-propanol.
