Trichloroacetyl chloride → 183268-72-6

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-1H-pyrrole (Intermediate 31, 10 g, 0.123 mmol) in anhydrous diethyl ether (30 ml) was added dropwise over 1 h to a stirred solution of trichloroacetyl chloride (29 g, 0.16 mmol) in anhydrous Et2O (100 ml). The mixture was stirred for a further 1 h then K2CO3 (10 g/30 ml) was added slowly through a dropping funnel. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and treated with decolorizing charcoal (3 g) for 30 min at room temperature. The resulting purple solution was concentrated and triturated with n-hexanes to give the title compound as a purple solid. (16.72 g). NMR (CDCl3): 2.36 (s, 3H), 6.04 (dd, 1H), 7.45 (dd, 1H), 10.344 (s, 1H).
