Procedure

Lithium hydroxide (2 M, 4 ml) was warmed to 50° C. and a solution of ethyl 4-chloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (Intermediate 7; 0.30 g, 1.60 mmol) in MeOH was added to it. The reaction was heated to 80° C. and stirred for two hours. The MeOH was removed and the aqueous solution was cooled to 0° C. and acidified with 30% HCl. The precipitated product (0.23 g, 92%) was filtered and dried. MS (ES): 160 (M+1) for C6H6ClNO2; NMR (CDCl3): 2.25 (s, 3H), 6.85 (s, 1H), 8.98 (brs, 1H).
