Reaction Steps

A 95:5 EtOH/H2O solution (5.0 mL) containing methyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (120 mg, 0.51 mmol) and NaOH (1.53 mol) was refluxed for 2 h whereupon the EtOH was removed in vacuum. After removal of traces of EtOH by azotroping twice with water, acidification to pH 3 with 1 M HCl generated a white precipitate. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuum to give 110 mg (98%) of the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI) 222 (M+H)+.
