Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of propofol hemisuccinate (2.0 g, 7.2 mmol) in THF—CH2Cl2 (1:1, 60 mL) was added EDCI (1.72 g, 9 mmol) followed by HOBt (1.37 g, 9 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 min and 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine (0.912 g, 8 mmol) was added and stirring was maintained overnight. 10% aqueous citric acid (50 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (100 ml×2). The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was removed and the product was purified by silica gel column chromatography using acetone with 1% Et3N. Removal of the solvent gave the product as an oil. Yield: 2.47 gram (92%)
