Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Acetyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrrole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 41.4 g of 1-(phenylsulfonyl-1H-pyrrole, prepared as described above, and 17.16 g of acetyl chloride in 200 ml of dichloroethane was added to a suspension of 32 g of aluminum chloride in 200 ml of dichloroethane. The reaction was stirred for one hour, poured onto a mixture of ice and concentrated hydrochloric acid and extracted several times with ether. The extracts were combined and evaporated. The residue was triturated with ether and the solid collected, giving 39 g of 3-acetyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole.
