Methyl vinyl ketone → HCID 23091639, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine (2 ml, 24 mmol), THF (20 ml) and methyl vinylketone (2.5 ml, 31 mmol) were mixed together and stirred overnight. NaBH4 (1.17 g, 31 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for 3 hours. The reaction was quenched with water (20 ml) and extracted with TBME (2×20 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, washed with TBME and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography, eluting with DCM:MeOH:NH3 (94:5:1), to give the title compound as a pale yellow oil (1.3 g, 38%).
