Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-{1-[2-(5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}ethanone (260 mg, 0.75 mmol) in THF (4.4 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (144 mg, 0.81 mmol) at −15° C. The mixture was allowed at room temperature overnight. A saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl (5 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×5 mL). The organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtrated and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue that was purified by chromatography (Biotage SP4, gradient 1 CV hexanes, 0-40% EtOAc in hexanes 15 CV, 40-60% 5CV) to give 1-{4-bromo-1-[2-(5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}-2,2,2-trichloroethanone as a yellow solid (157 mg, yield: 49%).
