Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,5-dimethyl-2-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonyl)benzyl)-1H-pyrrole (576.0 mg, 1.809 mmol) and N-chlorosulfonylisocyanide (197 μl, 2.261 mmol) in acetonitrile (9.0 ml) was stirred at 25° C. for 1 hour. DMF (140 μl, 1.809 mmol) was then added and the resulting mixture was stirred for an additional 16 hours. It was quenched with water (100 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (100 ml×2). The organic layers were combined, filtered, and evaporated to give an oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography (0 to 70% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 2,4-dimethyl-5-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonyl)benzyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (513.6 mg, 1.495 mmol, 83% yield) as brown oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3/400 MHz) δ (ppm) 9.10 (bs, 1H), 7.82-7.77 (m, 1H), 7.46-7.40 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.23 (m, 2H), 4.10 (s, 2H), 3.33-3.27 (m, 4H), 2.20 (s, 3H), 2.18 (s, 3H), 1.92-1.88 (m, 4H). MS m/z: 344.3 (M+1).
