1,3-Dibromobenzene → HCID 57421406, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 250 mL 3-necked round bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of 1,3-dibromobenzene (7.0 g, 29.91 mmol) in toluene (100 mL). To this was added 3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)pyrrolidine (5.6 g, 32.75 mmol). Addition of Pd(OAc)2 (66.9 mg, 0.30 mmol) was next. This was followed by the addition of Cs2CO3 (24.27 g, 74.49 mmol). To the mixture was added BINAP (556 mg, 0.89 mmol). The resulting solution was allowed to react, with stirring, overnight while the temperature was maintained at reflux in a bath of oil. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:5). A filtration was performed. The filter cake was washed 3 times with 100 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over MgSO4. The residue was purified by eluting through a column with a 1:100 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether solvent system. This resulted in 1.36 g (13%) of 1-(3-bromophenyl)-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)pyrrolidine as a yellow liquid.
