Procedure

A solution of methyl pyrrol-3-yloxoacetate (3.3 g, 22 mol) in THF (70 ml) was added at room temperature to a stirred suspension of potassium tert-butoxide (2.7 g, 24 mmol) and 18-crown-6 (0.1 g, 0.39 mmol) in ether (250 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes then iodomethane (1.6 ml, 26 mmol) in ether (50 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours then filtered through hyflo supercell and washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give methyl N-methylpyrrol-3-yloxoacetate (2.84 g, 79% yield) as a clear oil, IR (thin film) 1725, 1645 cm-1, 1H nmr:delta 3.64 (3H, s), 3.85 (3H, s), 6.5 (1H, m) 6.7 (1H, m), 7.6 (1H, m) ppm.
