Procedure

By the procedure of Example 23, methyl pyrrole-3-carboxylate (2.5 g., 20 mmoles) was reacted with 3,4-dichlorobenzenesulfenyl chloride (4.24 g., 20 mmoles) to yield crude product (6.3 g., oil). The crude was chromatographed on 250 g. of silica gel, with 125 ml. fractions of the ethyl acetate-1/hexane-5/5% acetic acid eluant collected. Fractions 2 to 6 were combined and evaporated to dryness to afford purified methyl 5-(3,4-dichlorophenylthio)pyrrole-3-carboxylate (2.76 g., m.p. 93°-96° C.).
