Sodium hydride → HCID 57444583, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-bromo-4-[(5-ethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]benzoate (330 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride in oil (58.4 mg) in an ice-bath over 5 minutes. After stirring for 1 hour, (aminooxy)(diphenyl)phosphine oxide (340 mg) was added portionwise over 40 minutes. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour in the bath. The reaction was quenched by adding water (10 mL). The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with water (two times) and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetatec-hexane (1-5), and to the solution was added silica gel. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to give methyl 4-[(1-amino-5-ethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]-2-bromobenzoate as an orange solid (310 mg).
