Sodium hydride → 1-[(2-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-5-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (80 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 34 mg) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. 15-Crown-5 (186 mg) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. 2-Fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (123 mg) was added, and the mixture was further stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated brine, 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→1:1) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (yield 120 mg, 82%).
