Participants

Reaction Steps

A stream of dry halogen chloride is passed as a moderate rate through a solution of 12.5 g of N-methylpyrrole and 16.8 g of ethyl cyanoformate in 125 mls of ethanol-free chloroform at 22° C. for 31/2 hours. The reaction mixture is added dropwise with stirring to a 1.5 liter solution of 5% sodium bicarbonate. The chloroform layer is separated, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo at room temperature to give a brown oil (ethyl α-imino-1-methylpyrrole-2-acetate).
