Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-5-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)thio]pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (0.644 g, 1.40 mmol) and potassium tert-butoxide (0.173 g, 1.54 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, treated with chloromethyl ethyl ether (0.16 mL, 1.54 mmol), stirred overnight at room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a solid. The solid is recrystallized from an ethyl acetate/hexanes solution to give the title product as a white solid (0.554 g, mp 105°-107° C.).
