N,N-Diethylethylenediamine → 5-formyl-4-methyl-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (2-diethylamino-ethyl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-formyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (2.50 g, 16.32 mmol) in DMF (54 mL) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC, 3.76 g, 19.59 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt, 2.65 g, 19.59 mmol) followed by diethylaminoethyl amine (2.75 mL, 19.59 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred for 12 h, and then DMF solvent was removed. The residue was purified on a silica gel column eluting with 1-5% methanol in dichloromethane to provide 3.2 g (78%) of 5-formyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (2-diethylamino-ethyl)-amide.
