Thionyl Chloride → 4-Methyl-1-(quinolin-4-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 mL (137 mmol) of sulphinyl chloride are added at a temperature in the region of 20° C. under an argon atmosphere to 1 g (3.97 mmol) of 3-carboxy-4-methyl-1-(quinol-4-yl)-1H-pyrrole dissolved in 20 mL of chloroform. After stirring at the reflux point of the solvent for 1 hour, the reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa). The residue is dissolved in 20 mL of chloroform and then brought back to dryness to give 1.07 g (3.97 mmol) of 3-chlorocarbonyl-4-methyl-1-(quinol-4-yl)-1H-pyrrole in the form of a beige-coloured solid which is used directly in the following step.
