Abstract
The reaction of 2,5-hexanedione with a variety of primary amines using tetracarbonylhydridoferrate(O) as a selective reducing agent at room temperature or 60 under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide gave the corresponding N-substituted 2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine derivatives. The reaction of synthesized 5-nitro-2-hexanone with benzaldehyde in the presence of tetracarbonylhydridoferrate(O) at 150 under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide in an autoclave also gave N-benzyl-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine in moderate yield. The mechanism of these reactions was investigated.
