Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidin-2-one (129 mg), cesium carbonate (412 mg), Pd2(dba)3 (116 mg), and Xantphos (146 mg) were added to a 1,4-dioxane (10 ml) solution containing 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (200 mg) in a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 5 hour. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The resultant was washed with saturated saline and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1 to 2:1), and a light red solid of 1-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one (261 mg) was thus obtained.
