Reaktionsschritte

The starting material is prepared as follows: The solution of 28 g of 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid in 20 ml of dimethylformamide is added to the suspension prepared from 12 g of 50% sodium hydride in mineral oil, washed with petroleum ether and suspended in 50 ml of dimethylformamide, while stirring and cooling. Thereupon 30 ml of methyl iodide are added and stirring is continued at ambient temperature. Another 10 ml of methyl iodide are added after the initial exothermic reaction has subsided. After standing overnight, the mixture is treated with water, extracted with diethyl ether, the extract washed with aqueous sodium carbonate and water, dried and evaporated, to yield the 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester as an oil.
