Reaction Steps

A sample (1.0 g, 0.0036 mol) of 3,5-dibromopyrrole-2,4-dicarbonitrile is readily soluble in 20 mL of acetone. Anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.64 g, 0.0046 mol) is added, and while the slurry is stirred, methyl iodide (0.68 g, 0.0047 mol) is added. The reaction can be followed by Tlc. When the reaction is complete, the mixture is poured into water precipitating a white solid. The product (0.77 g, 74%) has mp 175°-178° C.
