Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-4-methylaniline (0.220 g, 1.18 mmol), 3-chloro-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (0.100 g, 0.40 mmol) and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (1.0 mL) was heated in an oil bath at 200° C., for 51 minutes. The mixture was diluted with aqueous hydrochloric acid (5 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (5 mL). The combined organic solutions were evaporated and the residue chromatographed on silica gel using dichloromethane as eluent to afford the title compound, a solid, following trituration with dichloromethane-hexane (90:10 v/v).
