Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl-2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde (5 g), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (9.55 g) and sodium acetate (11.28 g) were dissolved in methanol (100 ml) and the solution was refluxed for 12 hours. Aftre confirming the completion of the reaction using TLC, the resulting mixture was purified by column-chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=3/1) to yield the compound (5.01 g, 88%) as a brown solid.
