Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 54380946, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (1.67 g, 10 mmol) in dimethylforamide (10 mL) was added benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP reagent, 6 g, 13.5 mmol) followed by 3 mL diisopropylethylamine. After stirring for 5 minutes, 1 mL of N,N-dimethylethylendiamine was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. To the reaction mixture was added 25 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide and 25 mL of brine. After stirring for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and extracted (3×200 mL) with 10% of methanol in dichloromethane. The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated using a rotary evaporator. The residue which remained was purified by chromatography (silica gel column, 5%-10% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 1 g (42%) of 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-amide.
