Trifluoroacetic acid → Methyl 3-(aminosulfonyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.53 g of methyl 3-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]sulfonyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate in 40 mL of methylene chloride under an nitrogen atmosphere was added 80 mL of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The gold solution was stirred at room temperature overnight ca. 16 hours. The gold solution was concentrated to an oily residue. Diethyl ether was added to the residue and removed by evaporation to remove residual TFA. The resulting solid was suspended in diethyl ether and filtered affording the title compound as a tan solid, m.p. 105°-107° C. 1H NMR (Acetone-d6, 200 MHz.) δ: 7.01(d,1H), 6.51(d,1H), 6.28(bs,2H), 3.95(s,3H), 3.93(s,3H).
