Diisopropylethylamine → ethyl (2E)-4-{[(4-iodo-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}but-2-enoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl (2E)-4-aminobut-2-enoate trifluoroacetate (IV) (0.97 g, 4 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-(4-iodo-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone (IX) (0.68 g, 2 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) (2.7 mL, 16 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexane-EtOAc 1:1) to obtain compound ethyl (2E)-4-{[(4-iodo-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}but-2-enoate (X, where R1=OCH2CH3) as an off-white solid (0.48 g, 68% yield).
