Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with 1H-pyrrole-1-amine (1 g, 0.012 mmol) and diethyl-2-(ethoxymethylene)malonate (3.16 g, 0.014 mmol) and the flask was equipped with a short path distillation condenser. The mixture was heated to 125° C. for 4 hr while collecting the ethanol distillate. After the reaction was complete as determined by TLC, the mixture was cooled to rt and hexanes was added to give a slurry. The mixture was filtered and the resulting solid was rinsed with additional hexanes and was dried to afford 2.6 g (85%) of a solid as the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm: 1.18-1.22 (m, 6H), 4.06-4.17 (m, 4H), 6.06 (t, J=2.4 Hz, 2H), 6.98 (t, J=1.6, 2.4 Hz, 2H), 7.84 (d, J=11.2 Hz, 1H), 11.24 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1H). LCMS (Condition D): m/z 253+ve.
