Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(3-bromo-4-fluoro-phenylethynyl)-1-ethyl-2-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole (0.35 g, 0.93 mmol) in acetone was treated with NaHCO3 (0.047 g, 0.56 mmol) and MgSO4 (0.17 g, 1.4 mmol), treated with KMnO4 (0.32 g, 2.05 mmol) and water, stirred at room temperature for 2 h and fitered. The filtercake was washed with EtOAC, dried overnight and washed with EtOAc a second time. The combined filtrates were washed with H2O and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to yield 0.32 gm (86% yield) of an oil. This was used as is in Step 5.
