Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.9 g of potassium permanganate in 15 ml of water was added dropwise to a mixture of 2.86 g of 4-bromo-1-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde and 30 ml of acetone while the mixture was maintained at 40° C. The mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours. A precipitate was filtered off to obtain a filtrate. The filtrate was adjusted to pH 10-12 by an addition of a 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and then washed with chloroform two times. The aqueous layer was adjusted to around pH 3 by an addition of 2N hydrochloric acid. A deposited precipitate was collected by filtration to obtain 2.08 g of 4-bromo-1-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid of the formula:
