Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (2.01 g, 16.2 mmol) and N-methyl-N-(pyrrolidin-3-yl)acetamide (1.92 g, 13.5 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was treated with K2CO3 (2.24 g, 16.2 mmol). The mixture was heated at 120° C. under nitrogen for 18 hours, cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL), washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 100% ethyl acetate to 10% methanol/ethyl acetate, to afford N-(1-(4-formylphenyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl)-N-methylacetamide.
