Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 1-Amino-4-bromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile hydrochloride (17 g, 61.1 mmol) in absolute ethanol (350 mL) was added formamidine acetate (31.8 g, 305 mmol) and potassium phosphate (64.9 g, 305 mol). The suspension was heated for 18 hours @ 78° C. (under N2), then cooled, filtered and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was mixed with ice water (2 L) and the dark grayish-brown solids were collected by suction filtration. The solids were taken up in refluxing MeOH and treated with decolorizing carbon, then filtered thru Celite and concentrated dryness in vacuo. The solids were taken up in THF:DCE (1:3) and filtered thru a pad of silica. Removal of the solvent in vacuo provided a yellowish-brown solid. This material was recrystallized from THF:hexanes to provide the desired compound as a yellow solid (9.86 g, 75% yield). (81%). 1H-NMR (DMSO): δ 7.85 (bs, 2H), 7.81 (s, 1H), 7.80 (d, 1H, J=2 Hz), 6.96 (d, 1H, J=2 Hz).
