Iodoethane → 1-Ethyl-4-iodo-2-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-iodo-2-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole (0.14 g, 0.52 mmol) in DMF was treated with Cs2CO3 (0.84 g, 2.58 mmol) and ethyl iodide (0.161 g, 1.03 mmol). The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed sequentially with water and brine. The organic phase was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography of the resultant residue (silica gel, 10%-30% EtOAc-hexanes as eluent) yielded an oil; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.47 (t, 3H, J=7.3 Hz), 3.09 (s, 3H), 4.26 (q, 2H, J=7.3 Hz), 6.90 (m, 1H), 6.95 (s, 1H).
