Ethyl 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (3.69 g, 28.24 mmol; see step (ii) above) and AlCl3 (8.02 g, 60.11 mmol) were added to a solution of nitromethane (40 mL), and 1,2-dichloroethane (40 mL) at −30° C. Dichloromethyl methyl ether (2.5 mL, 28 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) was added rapidly to the solution and the mixture was allowed to stir at −30° C. for 16 h. The solution was then poured onto ice (50 g) and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was then extracted with ether (50 mL). The combined organic fractions were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure, to yield the title compound as a crystalline brown/black solid (4.77 g, 94%).
