Ethyl chloroformate → HCID 13457750, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Amino-2-(2-chlorobenzoyl)pyrrole (32 g, 0.145 mol) was combined with sodium bicarbonate (30.2 g, 0.36 mol) in 400 ml of dichloromethane. To this rapidly stirred mixture was added ethyl chloroformate (18.6 g, 0.172 mol) over 2 minutes and the resultant slurry heated under reflux for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with 300 ml of H2O, separated, washed with H2O, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to give 51 g of an oil. This oil was purified by HPLC (silica, 10:1 DCM-ethyl acetate) to give after evaporation 32.8 g (77%) of crystals, m.p. 90°-92°.
