Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of potassium tert-butoxide (1.43 g, 12.9 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added 1-methylpyrrolidin-3-ol (645 mg, 6.39 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Then 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (900 mg, 6.39 mmol) was added to the above solution and stirred for another 2 h. After the removal of the volatile, the residual was dissolved in ethyl acetate (40 mL), and then washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (EA:PE=1:4) to give desired product as a yellow oil (626 mg, 44%).
