Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4-Difluoro-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole (Intermediate 8; 3.8 g) was dissolved in anhydrous diethyl ether (100 ml). Anhydrous K2CO3 (12.5 g) was added followed by trichloroacetyl chloride (10 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature under N2 for 2 h, poured into a cold saturated solution of NaHCO3, stirred for 10 min, and extracted with ether. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a red brown oil. Trituration with pentane (50 ml)/DCM (2 ml), at −20° C. overnight to gave the title compound as a brown powder (1.3 g). MS (ES) MH+: 262 for C7H4Cl3F2NO; NMR (CDCl3): 2.35 (d, 3H), 9.0 (brs, 1H).
