Pyridine → methyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the product prepared in Step B (1160 mg, 6.0 mmol, 1 eq), 4-chlorophenylboronic acid (2.9 g, 18.0 mmol, 1 eq), Cu(OAc)2 (2.18 g, 12.0 mmol, 2 eq), 4 A molecular sieves (3 g), pyridine (1.94 mL, 4.0 mmol, 4 eq) in DCM (40 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The resulting suspension was filtered through CELITE, washed with DCM, and concentrated. The resulting residue was dry packed and purified by flash chromatography (120 g column) eluting with 4 to 8% EtOAc/heptane to yield methyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate.
