Triethylamine → 1-Oxo-1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)cyclopent-1-enyl)propan-2-yl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add dropwise a solution of 1-chloro-1-oxopropan-2-yl acetate (600 g, 3.98 mol) in toluene (1200 mL) to a solution of 1-cyclopent-1-enyl-pyrrolidine (546.7 g, 3.98 mol) and triethyl amine (483.9 g, 4.78 mol) in toluene (2400 mL). Reflux the mixture for overnight. Filter the mixture and concentrate the filtration to give crude 1-oxo-1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)cyclopent-1-enyl)propan-2-yl acetate (952 g), which is used in next step without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 5.27 (m, 1H), 3.56 (m, 2H), 3.16 (m, 2H), 2.83 (m, 1H), 2.58 (m, 3H), 2.10 (s, 3H), 1.93 (m, 2H), 1.82 (m, 4H), 1.36 (d, J=7.2, 3H).
