Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 100 mg (0.386 mmole) of 3-formyl-2,5-dithienylpyrrole in toluene (3 mL) was added methyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate (129 mg, 0.386 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 60° C. for 16 hours. The reaction solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the crude product then purified on 50 g of silica gel. Elution with hexane-ethyl acetate, 5:1, gave the title compound (97 mg) in 58% yield.
