5-(4-Chlorophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one synthesis

6synthesis methods
-

Yield: 60%

Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1:ethyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate with ammonium acetate in methanol at 25; for 1 h;
Stage #2: with sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol for 18 h;Reflux;

Steps:

2.2 Step 2: Intermediate M
Step 2: Intermediate M [0065] To phenyl 4-oxobutanoate ester L (81.9 mmol) in MeOH (450 mL) was added ammonium acetate (63.1 g, 0.819 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25 °C for 1 hour. Sodium cyanoborohydride (5.14 g, 81.9 mmol) was added to the reaction and stirred at reflux. After 18 hours the reaction was cooled and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with water (3 × 50mL). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated down under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica, EtOAc/MeOH) to afford pure pyrrolidin-2-one M. For example, 5-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one was isolated in 60% yield. 1H NMR δ (ppm)(CHCl3-d): 7.34 (2 H, d), 7.25 (2H, d), 6.15 (1H, bs), 4.74 (2H, t), 2.62-2.50 (1H, m), 2.50-2.35 (2H, m), 1.98-1.89 (1H, m).
