Procedure

A solution of 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]pyrrole (1.0 g, 0.0036 mol) in acetic acid is cooled with an ice bath, treated with nitric acid (0.24 g, 0.00378 mol), stirred for two hours, poured into ice-water and stirred for one hour. The aqueous solution is filtered and the filter cake is washed with water and dried in a vacuum dessicator to obtain a tan solid. Flash chromatography of the solid using silica gel and a 1:10 ethyl acetate/hexanes solution gives 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-nitro-5-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]pyrrole as a yellow solid (0.45 g, mp 143°-145° C.) and 5-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-nitro-2-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]pyrrole as a yellow solid (0.17 g, mp 185°-193° C.). Both products are identified by 1HNMR, 19FNMR and 13CNMR spectral analyses.
