Tributylstannane → HCID 19887190, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2-Butenyl)-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-chloro-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)acetamide (1.6 g) was added to 30 ml of benzene, followed by the addition of 1.1 ml of tributyltin hydride and a catalytic amount of α,α-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) under stirring at the refluxing temperature. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 20 minutes at the refluxing temperature. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in an evaporator. The resultant concentrate was purified by chromatography on a silica gel, whereby 0.75 g of the 3,4-trans isomer of 4-ethyl-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone and 0.14 g of its 3,4-cis isomer were obtained.
