Pyrrolidine → 4-Pyrrolidin-1-ylnaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

154BG85-11 (156 mg, 0.7 mmol) was transferred to a Pyrex tube and pyrrolidine (1 mL) was added. The tube was capped and the reaction tube was exposed to microwave irradiation (100° C., 3 min). The microwave exposure was repeated for 5 min at 130° C. The pyrrolidine was evaporated and the reaction mixture was transferred to a separation funnel with ethyl acetate and washed with 2 M NaOH. The aqueous phase was acidified with 2 M HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were collected, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield 135 mg (70%) of the title compound.
