Ethyl 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate → HCID 57435098, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethylpyrrole-2-carboxylate (1.9428 g, 13.96 mmol) in a minimal amount (˜5 mL) of dichloroethane was added to an ice cooled stirring mixture of aluminum chloride (4.0458 g, 30.34 mmol) and 2-bromophenylacetyl chloride (6.7116 g, 28.74 mmol) in dichloroethane (44 mL, 0.66 M) under N2. The ice bath was removed, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. 19.2977 g (2.6 mMol/g) Polyamine resin HL (200-400 mesh) and dichloroethane (20 mL) were added, and the reaction was stirred for ˜100 min. The reaction was then filtered through a glass-fritted funnel directly into ice water. The resin was rinsed with CH2Cl2, then the organic layers were removed, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (Combiflash column, 80:20 to 60:40 Hexanes:EtOAc) to obtain 2.5751 g (54.9%) 63 as a white solid. Note: A small amount of CH2Cl2 was required to solubilize the crude product before placement on the silica column. 1H (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 10.32 (1H, broad s), 7.57-7.53 (2H, m), 7.38-7.37 (1H, m), 7.29-7.21 (2H, m), 7.13-7.07 (TH, m), 4.35 (2H, q, J=7.2 Hz), 4.25 (2H, s), 1.36 (3H, t, J=7.2 Hz) ppm. 13C (CDCl3, 100 MHz): δ 191.78, 161.04, 134.91, 132.62, 131.66, 128.59, 127.40, 126.95, 126.25, 124.98, 124.17, 114.88, 60.92, 46.56, 14.26 ppm. DEPT (CDCl3, 100 MHz): CH3 carbons: 14.26; CH2 carbons: 60.92, 46.56; CH carbons: 132.62, 131.66, 128.59, 127.40, 126.95, 114.88 ppm. HPLC: 10.078 min.
