反应详情

To a solution of 5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone (7.0 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (280 ml) was added 1M lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran (55 ml) dropwise, at ambient temperature, under nitrogen. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 2 hrs, cooled to ambient temperature, and quenched with 10% aqueous tetrahydrofuran (60 ml) followed by 10% sodium hydroxide solution (50 ml). The suspension was filtered through a pad of celite, and the filter cake was washed with dichloromethane. The combined filtrates were concentrated. The concentrate was dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 6.3 g (96%) of 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidine.
