Styrene → 2-(1-Allylpyrrolidin-3-yl)-6-methoxypyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-ethenyl-6-methoxypyridine a1-51 (400 mg, 3 mmol, 1 eq) in trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane (200 μl/2 ml) is added N-(methoxymethyl)-N-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]prop-2-en-1-amine until all styrene a1-51 is consumed. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the crude residue is purified by basic reverse phase chromatography over silicagel (gradient: CH3CN/H2O/NH4OH from 50/50/0.1 to 80/20/0.1) to afford 210 mg of pure 2-methoxy-6-[1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]pyridine a1-55.
