Benzenesulfonyl chloride → 5-Bromo-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (3.50 g) in tetrahydrofuran (70 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 1.21 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. Benzenesulfonyl chloride (4.27 g) was added, and the mixture was further stirred for 1 hr, diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1→7:3) and crystallized from diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 5.4 g, 85%).
