Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-[(Methoxyimino)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.74 g (21.9 mmol) of N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-[(methoxyimino)-methyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-sulfonamide in 75 mL methylene chloride under a nitrogen atmosphere was add 75 mL, of TFA. The clear orange reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight ca. 16 hours. The orange reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Three portions of diethyl ether were added to the residue and removed by evaporation to remove residual TFA, affording 3.49 g of the title compound as a gray solid, m.p. 120°-122° C.
