Trichloroacetyl chloride → 2-(2-Trichloroacetylpyrrol-1-yl)malonic acid ethyl (-)-menthyl ester

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)malonic acid ethyl (-)-menthyl ester (64.0 g) in chloroform (80 ml) was added trichloroacetyl chloride (69.0 g), and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with 5% aqueous sodium carbonate solution and then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using n-hexane/ethyl acetate (50:1) as the eluent. Fractions containing the title compound were pooled and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (87.0 g, 94.9%) as a colorless oil.
