A solution of 4-chloro-1-(chloromethyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (2.6 g, 0.0074 mol) in tetrahydrofuran is treated with sodium ethoxide as a 21% wt/wt solution in denatured ethanol (3.6 mL, 0.0096 mol), stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, treated with an additional 2-3 drops of the sodium ethoxide solution, heated at reflux temperature for 1 hour, cooled and poured in water. The resultant precipitate is filtered, dried and recrystallized from isopropanol to afford the title product as a white solid, 1.6 g (60% yield), mp 104.0°-104.5 C.
