3-Phenylpyrrolidine → 6-Chloro-2-methyl-4-(3-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,6-Dichloro-2-methylquinoline (0.1 g) and 3-phenylpyrrolidine (0.15 g) in 2-ethoxy-ethanol (1.5 mL) was heated in a microwave at 240° C. for 10 minutes. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of methanol and dichloromethane. Evaporation of the desired fractions gave the title compound as a white solid.
