Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylsilane (0.323 mL, 2.03 mmol) was added to a stirring, room temperature solution of methyl-4-phenylacetyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.1593 g, 0.655 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (1.47 mL, 0.45 M) under N2. After stirring overnight, the reaction was complete by HPLC. The TFA was removed under vacuum, and the crude product was taken up in EtOAc, washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (Combiflash column, 95:5 Hexanes: EtOAc) to obtain pure 27 (0.0755 g, 50.3%): 1H (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 9.17 (1H, broad s), 7.32-7.25 (2H, m), 7.23-7.17 (3H, m), 6.80 (1H, s), 6.69 (1H, s), 3.85 (3H, s), 2.93-2.85 (2H, m), 2.84-2.75 (2H, m) ppm. 13C (CDCl3, 100 MHz): δ 161.97, 142.15, 128.70, 128.55, 126.13, 125.96, 122.40, 121.26, 115.28, 51.67, 37.57, 28.92 ppm. DEPT (CDCl3, 100 MHz): CH3 carbons: 51.67; CH2 carbons: 37.57, 28.92; CH carbons: 128.70, 128.55, 126.13, 121.26, 115.28 ppm. HPLC: 10.033 min. (Starting material: 8.751 min.)
