3-Bromo-1-propanol → 1-Pyrrolidinepropanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Bromopropan-1-ol (27.3 mL, 302 mmol) was added to a solution of pyrrolidine (47.2 g, 655 mmol) in toluene (1000 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled and the title product was obtained as a colourless liquid at 100° C./7 mmHg, (23.1 g, 59%).
