Reaction Steps

2,5-Bis(5-benzyloxycarbonyl-3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4-methylpyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-3,4-diethylpyrrole (11) (0.75 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 85 ml of dry THF and hydrogenated over 10% palladium-charcoal (41 mg) at 1 atm H2 until the reaction was deemed complete as judged by TLC. The catalyst was then separated by filtration, the solvent reduced in volume on the rotary evaporator, and the product precipitated by trituration with n-heptane. The white precipitate was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to yield 0.56 g (98%) of 12 (m.p. 149° C. (dec.)), which was then used directly in the next step (the synthesis of 3, vide infra) without further purification.
