Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 19600057, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9.03 g of the above crude N-allyl-N-(3-furylmethyl)-2-chloroethylamine in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 63.8 ml (102 mmol) of 1.6 M n-butyl lithium hexane was added under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted with dichloromethane 3 times. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1) to yield 5-allyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine.
