Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.05 mL, 0.65 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 5-[4-amino-3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile (0.16 g, 0.56 mmol) in dry pyridine (2.0 mL). The solution was heated to 50° C. overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature and pre-adsorbed onto the Celite™ reagent. The crude product was purified via Isco chromatography (the Redisep® column, silica, gradient 5-30% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford 0.1 g (50%) of N-[4-(5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]methanesulfonamide.
