Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.00 g (2.79 mmol) of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-4-[2-(3-oxapropyloxy)-5-methoxyphenyl]propenylpyrrole in 5 ml of 1:1 aqueous trifluoroacetic acid was stirred at 0° for 1 hour, then at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution was partitioned between ether and water and the ether layer was washed with 3 portions of water. The ether extract was dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and chromatographed on silica using 20% ethylacetatehexane to afford 0.68 g (77%) 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)propenylpyrrole of a colorless glass.
