2-Chloroaniline → N-[2-(1-Azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-5-yl)ethyl]-2-chloroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To nitrobenzene (30.0 ml), 2-chloroaniline (600 mg, 4.70 mmol), 5-(2-chloroethyl)-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (hydrochloride, 1.98 g, 9.42 mmol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (3.90 g, 28.2 mmol) were added to react same for 10 hours at 120° C. subsequent to addition of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, the reaction mixture was extracted by ethyl acetate, washed by sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo, and purified by column chromatography to afford the desired compound (499 mg, 40.1%), as a colorless liquid.
