Procedure

2 G (6.6 mmol) of 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole were added to a cooled, stirred suspension of 0.69 g of sodium hydride (50% in mineral oil) in 50 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide under nitrogen. After 1 hour at 20° C., 0.8 ml of n-butyl bromide was added. Stirring was continued for an additional 18 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured over a 10% HCl--ice mixture, then extracted three times with 250 ml ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed five times with 200 ml water, dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified on a silica column (200 g) eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1). Crystallization from acetone-hexane gave 1.52 g of N-n-butyl-3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole (mp 101°-103° C.).
