Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 1-(2,4-Dichloro-3-hydroxymethylphenyl)2-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylaminomethyl]pyrrole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[3-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxymethyl)-2,4-dichlorophenyl]-2-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylaminomethyl]pyrrole (620 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (6 ml) was added 1N solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (2.5 ml). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was isolated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 1N hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with methanol to give 1-(2,4-dichloro-3-hydroxymethylphenyl)-2-[4-(methylcarbamoyl)cinnamoylaminomethyl]pyrrole (197 mg) as a brownish powder.
