Water → 5-(Morpholin-4-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (10 mL) solution of 5-fluoroindanone (1.97 g) and morpholine (1.71 g) was agitated at 100° C. for 26 hours and 30 minutes. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was partitioned. After the obtained organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, it was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (elution solvent: heptane-ethyl acetate system), and 2.20 g of the title compound was obtained. The physical properties of the compound are as follows.
