1-Methylpyrrole → (1-Methylpyrrol-2-yl)-(3-nitrophenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-methylpyrrole (10.0 g, 123.0 mmol), 3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (68.47 g, 369 mmol), and triethylamine (17.14 ml, 123 mmol) in xylenes (150 ml) was refluxed for 40 h. Purification of the reaction mixture on a Florisil® column (hexane-acetone, 85:15) gave 2-(3-nitrobenzoyl)-1-methylpyrrole (13.0 g, 46%) as a solid. ##STR43##
