Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.01 mole of ethyl 5-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-1,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-acetate in 12 ml. (0.012 mole) of IN sodium hydroxide solution and 5 ml. of 95% ethanol is refluxed for 30 minutes. The solution is diluted with water and the ethanol evaporated in vacuo. The remaining solution is filtered and the filtrate acidified with dilute HCl. The precipitated solid is collected by filtration and recrystallized from methanol-water to yield the product, 5-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-1,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-acetic acid.
