Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [2-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]carbamic acid, ethyl ester (102.4 g) in 500 ml of ethanol was treated with a solution of potassium hydroxide (84 g) in 200 ml of water and then the mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 hour. The ethanol was evaporated and the aqueous layer was washed with 3×500 ml of ether. The aqueous phase was then adjusted to pH 5 with 6N HCl and the product collected by filtration. Oven drying yielded 68 g of a yellow green powder, mp>300° C.
