Sodium hydride → 5-(2-methylphenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (371 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) were added sodium hydride (60% in oil, 288 mg) and 15-crown-5 (1.32 g) at room temperature. After stirring for 5 min, a suspension of pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride hydrochloride (642 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was added at the same temperature. After stirring for 15 min, ice water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=6:1→3:1) to give the title compound as a red oil (yield 521 mg, 80%).
