Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chloro-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1]pyrindin-7-ol (570 mg, 3.36 mmol) in dimethylsulphoxide (17.7 ml) was treated at room temperature with triethylamine (2.81 ml, 20.2 mmol) followed by sulphur trioxide-pyridine complex (1.6 g, 10.1 mmol). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion, the reaction mixture was treated with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulphate, then evaporated leaving a dark red liquid. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate=70:30 to 30:70 as the eluent. The 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-[1]pyrindin-7-one was obtained as a pink solid (472 mg, 84%); (calculated) C8H6ClNO [167.60]; (found) [M+H]+=168.
