Ethyl chloroformate → 1-(4-Ethoxycarbonylaminophenyl)pyrrole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl chloroforrnate (0.38 ml) was added dropwisc to a stirred solution of 1-(4-aminophenyl)pyrrole (0.56 g, 3.54 mmol , Corelli et al., Farmaco. Ed. Sci., 1983, 38, 219) in pyridine (5 ml) at 5-10° C. for 15 minutes. The cooling bath was removed and stirring continued for 1.5 hours. The mixture was evaporated and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 1-4% MeOH in dichloromethane to give the title product (0.43 g) as a solid.
