Ethanol → 1-Methyl-4-[(allyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3-methoxy-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.93 g (3.3 mmol) of ethyl 1-methyl-4-[(allyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3-methoxy-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (prepared according to the method described in K. Narkunan, M. A. Ciufolini, Synthesis, 2000, 673–676), 3.3 ml of a 2 molar sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and 3.3 ml of ethanol is stirred at room temperature for 5 days. Water is added and the ethanol is evaporated. After extraction with diethyl ether, the aqueous phase is acidified to pH 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Extraction with ethyl acetate, drying and concentration give 0.6 g (71% yield) of a light brown solid. (M−1=253).
