Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 3-amino-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzoate (1.0 g) and pyridine (0.41 ml) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was added bromoacetyl bromide (0.44 ml) under ice cooling. After stirring for 6 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into the mixture of ethyl acetate and ice-water. The organic layer was successively washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was pulverized from diethyl ether to give methyl 3-bromoacetylamino-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzoate (1.51 g).
