5-(4-bromo-but-1-enyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid 2-tert-butyl ester 4-ethyl ester → 2-O-tert-butyl 4-O-ethyl 5-(4-bromobutyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-Bromo-but-1-enyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid 2-tert-butyl ester 4-ethyl ester 60b (30 mg, 0.08 mmol) was dissolved in 3 ml of ethanol under stirring, and added with palladium on activated carbon (6 mg, 5%) to the solution at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 45 minutes under a hydrogen atmosphere. After thin lay chromatography showed the disappearance of starting materials, the reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound 5-(4-bromo-butyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid 2-tert-butyl ester 4-ethyl ester 60c (21 mg, yield 70%) as a colorless oil.
