Procedure

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, methyl pyrrole-3-carboxylate (2.5 g., 20 mmoles) was dissoled in 50 ml. of methylene chloride. The stirred solution was cooled in an ice-water bath and o-toluenesulfenyl chloride (3.16 g., 20 mmoles) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. Thin layer chromatography (silica gel, chloroform eluant) indicated virtually complete reaction at this time. An equal volume of ether was added and a small amount of insolubles removed by filtration. Crude product (5 g.) was obtained by evaporation in vacuo to a gum. The latter was chromatographed on 150 g. of silica gel with 75 ml. fractions of the chloroform eluant collected. Fractions 10 to 13 were combined and evaporated in vacuo to yield partially purified product (1.69 g., m.p. 114°-119° C.). Recrystallization from methylene chloride/hexane gave purified methyl 5-(2-methylphenylthio)pyrrole-3-carboxylate (1.1 g., m.p. 126°-128° C.).
