Triethylamine → 1-allyl-N-(3-ethylphenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-allyl-1H-pyrrole-2-caboxylic acid (270 mg, 1.79 mmol), m-ethylaniline (0.43 g, 2.48 mmol), BOP-Cl (500 mg, 1.96 mmol) and triethylamine (210 mg, 2.08 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added an aqueous 5% potassium hydrogensulfate solution and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified with silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1→3:1) to give the subject compound (229 mg, 50%).
