Triethylamine → HCID 22038559, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(3-Formyl-1-pyrrolyl)phenol (3 g, 16 mmol) and triethylamine (17.6 mmol) are added to a suspension of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.22 g, 17.6 mmol) in acetic anhydride (7.7 ml), and the mixture is allowed to stir overnight at ambient temperature. The mixture is refluxed for 5 hours, concentrated, dissolved in 50 ml ethanol and stirred for 10 min with 50 ml 2 M aqueous sodium hydroxide. After neutralisation with aqueous hydrochloric acid, and extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer is dried and concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography (toluene/ethanol 9:1) to yield 2-(3-cyano-1-pyrrolyl)phenol (2.4 g, 92%). This phenolic product is reacted with (2S)-glycidyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate substantially as described for Epoxide 1 to yield the title epoxide.
