Water → N-[4-(5-Cyano-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)phenyl]ethanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-Aminophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile (1.3 g, 6 mmol) was dissolved in pyridine (10 mL), ethane sulfonyl chloride (0.54 mL, 5.7 mmol) was added, the mixture was stirred for 4 hours, and then water was added. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, saturated CuSO4, 2N HCl, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Flash chromatography (5%-50% ethyl acetate in hexane) afforded N-[4-(5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)phenyl]ethanesulfonamide (1.33 g).
