Diethyl Ether → HCID 23154981, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 12 mL of an anhydrous ether solution of 1.08 g (3.4 mmol) of 1-(4-bromo-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole, 1.4 mL of n-butyllithium (a tetrahydrofuran solution, 2.44 M) was added at one time at −60° C. and the mixture solution was stirred for one hour. Then, 5 mL of a tetrahydrofuran solution of 350 mg (3.27 mmol) of 4-formylpyridine was added thereto at −60° C. and the mixture solution was stirred while raising the temperature to room temperature over one hour. The reaction solution was partitioned between a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution and ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by a silica gel column (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to obtain 754 mg (66%) of a target product as a pale yellow oil.
