Potassium Carbonate → HCID 19746809, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 3-(R,S)-(1-carbamoyl-1,1-diphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine (0.6 g-see Preparation 8), 5-(2-bromoethyl)indane (0.49 g-see Preparation 14), anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.6 g) and acetonitrile (20 ml) was heated under reflux for 1.25 hours. The mixture was partitioned between 10% aqueous potassium carbonate (10 ml) and dichloromethane (50 ml), the layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane (3×100 ml). The combined dichloromethane extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give a gum which was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with dichloromethane containing methanol (0% up to 6%). The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a foam, yield 0.29 g.
