Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.5 g. (0.03 mole) of p-nitrobenzoyl chloride in 60 ml. methylene chloride is added to a suspension of 3.9 g. (0.03 mole) aluminum chloride in 20 ml. methylene chloride. The resulting suspension is added dropwise to a chilled (-15° C.) solution of ethyl 1-methylpyrrole-2-acetate in 50 ml. methylene chloride. The solution is stirred for 15 minutes at -10° C. and at room temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture is poured into ice-dilute hydrochloric acid. The organic phase is separated and washed successively with N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine, 3N hydrochloric acid and a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. A solid, ethyl 5-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-1-methylpyrrole-2-acetate, crystallizes from the remaining oily residue which is isolated by recrystallization from methanol, m.p. 103-106° C.
