Reaction Steps

Iodoethane (10.1 g) was added to a mixture of 2-((S)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)acetonitrile hydrochloride (Intermediate 205, 7.9 g) and potassium carbonate (29.7 g) in DMF (20 mL) and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give 2-((S)-1-ethylpyrrolidin-3-yl)acetonitrile (3.8 g) as a yellow oil which was used without further characterisation.
