Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.100 g, 0.627 mmol) in DCE (3 mL) was added to a suspension of SnCl2 (0.238 g, 1.25 mmol) and methyl 3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.100 g, 0.627 mmol) in DCE (3 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred for 10 min. at 0° C. then warmed to room temp over 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and EtOAc and the organic layer was separated, then washed with 1N sodium hydroxide, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to a residue. Purification was accomplished on silica with EtOAc and hexanes to afford the title compound (0.034 g, 26%) as a solid, along with methyl 4-acetyl-3-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.047 g, 37%) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 9.90 (br. s., 1H), 6.79 (s, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 2.43 (s, 3H). LCMS: m/z 200.0 (M−1).
