Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of isobutyryl chloride and aluminum chloride in dry DCM were stirred in an inert atmosphere at 0-5° C. for 15 minutes. To this was added a solution of 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester in dry DCM drop wise under stirring at 0-5° C. and stirred further for 4 hours at room temperature. After completion of reaction, reaction mixture was poured into ice water and extracted with DCM, DCM layer was washed with 1N NaOH followed by water and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and was evaporated to get 4-isobutyryl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (B1-I)
