Sodium hydride → 4-Methyl-5-phenyl-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (185 mg) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), sodium hydride (60% in oil, 60 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. 15-Crown-5 (0.30 mL) was added and the mixture was further stirred at the same temperature for 15 min. 3-Pyridinesulfonyl chloride hydrochloride (231 mg) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=19:1→1:1) to give the title compound as a colorless solid (yield 172 mg, 53%).
