Ammonia → Methyl 5-(aminocarbonyl)-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ammonia (5.8 mL, 2.9 mmol) was added to a solution of methyl 3-chloro-5-(chlorocarbonyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.15 g, 0.58 mmol) in THF and the resulting solution stirred until no starting material was evident by TLC. The solvent was evaporated and purification was accomplished by silica gel column chromatography (30 to 100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the title compound (0.060 g, 51%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.29 (br. s., 1H), 7.82 (br. s., 1H), 7.47 (br. s., 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 3.77 (s, 3H). LCMS: m/z 201.4 (M−1).
