Hydrogen Sulfide → HCID 15239090, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropylethylamine (1.1 mL, 6 mmol), 2,4,5-tribromo-1-methylpyrrole-3-carbonitrile (2.16 g, 6 mmol) and pyridine (10 mL) are added to condensed hydrogen sulfide in a pressure tube at -78° C. The tube is sealed and the reaction mixture is stirred for 5 days at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then concentrated in vacuo to obtain a residue. Chromatography of the residue using silica gel and a 4:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate mixture gives the title product as a yellow solid (0.47 g, mp 100.5°-102° C. dec.).
