Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 20 mL screwtop vial was charged with 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (200 mg, 0.985 mmol), piperadine (116 μL, 1.19 mmol), and DMA (1 mL). The reaction was heated to 120° C. for 3 h. The reaction was diluted in EtOAc and extracted with brine (3×). The organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (0% to 20% EtOAc in hexanes) and yielded 4-bromo-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzaldehyde (242 g, 92%). 1H NMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ 10.21 (s, 1H), 7.66 (dd, J=8.3, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.31-7.17 (m, 2H), 4 (m, 4H), 1.78 (m, 4H), 1.71-1.60 (m, 2H). LCMS (ESI, m/z): 268 [M+H]+.
