Allyl bromide → 5-(3-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7 g of 3-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride, 100 ml of dimethylformamide, 9.8 g of sodium carbonate and 3.75 g of allyl bromide was stirred for 6 hours and was then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was chromatographed over silica gel. Elution with a 7-3 benzene-ethyl acetate mixture yielded 5.9 g of 1-allyl-3-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine.
