preparation | in 600 of methanol, 50.00G of nitro compound (01) and 18.04G of NiCl2 · 6H2O were added; the solution was cooled to 0-5 °c and 18.2g of sodium borohydride was added. After the addition, the temperature was raised to 40 ° C. To 45 ° C. And the mixture was stirred for 12 hours. Then, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and hydrochloric acid aqueous solution was added dropwise to adjust pH = 2-3. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure until the system had no obvious methanol (detected by gas chromatography), and was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, the organic layer was dried and concentrated to obtain lactam compound (02). Isobutyl-2-pyrrolidone, light yellow oil 31.20G, yield 96.0%, purity 99.10%. |
