Ethanol (4 mL) was added to the mixture (to aid solvation of the starting material) and it was stirred at room temperature for overnight. The reaction was diluted with water (20 mL), concentrated (to remove most of the alcohol) and extracted with ether. The aqueous layer was the acidified to pH=2 using 1N HCl (43 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined extract was then washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give 1.89 g of 5-(2-carboxy-ethyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a white solid.
