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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (250 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 73 mg) at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. 3-Fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (310 mg) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was further stirred for 30 min. 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=1:1) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (yield 420 mg, 95%).
