Reaction Steps

To a solution (15 mL) of 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (1.0 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide was added N-chlorosuccinimide (0.71 g) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hr. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=8:1→3:1) to give the title compound as a yellow powder (yield 0.55 g, 46%).
