Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of [(3RS,4SR)-1-benzyl-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-methyl-amine (0.46 g, 1.59 mmol) in THF (15 ml) was added 1-bromomethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (0.44 g, 1.86 mmol) and Et3N (0.155 ml, 1.59 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at RT and concentrated under vacuo. The product purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/Heptane 1:4) to afford 500 mg (71%) of the title compound as a colorless oil. ES-MS m/e: 459.3 (M+H+).
