HCID 205603682-Acetyl-1-furfurylpyrrole

Procedure

a. 1-Furfuryl-2-acetyl-pyrrole was prepared starting from 1-furfuryl-pyrrole described by Reichstein in Helv. 15, 1450 (1932) as well as Gianturco et al. in Tetrahedron 20, 1763 (1964). Acetylation by reaction of the Grignard intermediate with acetyl chloride [cf. Chem. Ber. 47, 1416 (1914)] led to the desired ketone. (A small amount of the 3-isomer was also obtained, separable by fractional distillation). The product boils at 100°-102° C./0.03 mm Hg. and crystallizes on standing. Recrystallization from a mixture of methylene dichloride and petroleum ether gave a white crystalline product with a m.p. of 42°-43° C.
