Reaction Steps

2,2,2-Trichloro-1-(3,4-difluoro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone (Intermediate 80; 1.03 g) was added to an aqueous solution of NaOH (18 ml) at 0° C. under N2. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for a further 2 h, cooled to 0° C. and acidified with HCl to ˜pH 2. A brown precipitate of product was collected by filtration. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel elution with EtOAc/hexanes (1:1). Trituration with DCM (1 ml)/pentane (6 ml) gave the title compound as a pale brown solid (306 mg). M.p. 140° C. (dec.). MS (ES) MH+: 160, 161 for C6H5F2NO2; NMR (CDCl3): 2.15 (s, 3H), 11.5 (s, 1H), 12.8 (brs, 1H).
