Ethyl Acetate → 5-Nitro-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring mixture of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (5.0 g, 31.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (7.0 g, 50.4 mmol), in 65 ml of DMF add pyrrolidine (6.7 g, 95 mmol) and stir at room temperature for 72 h. Dilute reaction mixture with 100 ml EtOAc and wash 2 times with 100 ml saturated NaHCO3, and 2 times with 100 ml of brine. Dry organics over Na2SO4, and evaporate in vacuo to obtain 5-nitro-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-pyridine. Mass spec.: m+1=194 (AP+).
