Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-4-chloro-1-butanone (4.0g), pyrrolidine (4.27g), potassium iodide (0.3g) and potassium carbonate (2.0g) in absolute N,N-dimethylformamide (30 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and then the filtrate was partitioned into water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was extracted, washed with water and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give the residue. The residue was dissolved in ethyl ether. The ethyl ether solution was extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was neutralized with ammonia water and then extracted with ethyl ether. The ethyl ether was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 1-(4-methoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-4-pyrrolidino-1-butanone (3.7 g; yield: 82%) as an oil.
