Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-methyl-4[1-methyl-4[1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxamido]pyrrole-2-carboxamido]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (590 mg) (prepared as reported in Tetrahedron 34,2389-2391,1978) in 20 ml of DMF, 2-aminoethylguanidine dihydrochloride (500 mg), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (350 mg), dicycloexylcarbodiimide (880 mg), and sodium bicarbonate (385 mg) was stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours. The solution obtained after filtration was evaporated in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol: 8/2) to yield 800 mg of 2-[1-methyl-4[1-methyl-4[1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxamido]pyrrole-2-carboxamido]pyrrole-2-carboxamido]ethylguanidine hydrochloride, which was dissolved in methanol (100 ml), added with 1N hydrochloric acid solution (2 ml) and reduced over Pd catalyst (100 on charcoal) in hydrogen atmosphere (50 psi) in a Parr apparatus. The solution obtained after filtration of the catalyst was evaporated in vacuo and the solid residue washed with dry ethanol to yield 750 mg of the intermediate as a brown powder.
