Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 58349828, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(2-Fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (2.25 g) was dissolved in methanol (20 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), a 8 mol/L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (20 mL) was added dropwise at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated brine, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue and insoluble crystals were collected by filtration to give the title compound as pale-brown crystals (yield 1.03 g, 79%).
