Dichloromethane → 6-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexanoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 6-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexanoic acid (3.15 g, 14.9 mM) in 15 mL of dichloromethane, oxalyl chloride (1.61 mL, 17.9 mM) was added followed by one drop of DMF. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for three hours. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in a one to one solution of heptane and dichloromethane and then concentrated in vacuo. This process was repeated two more times producing a solid #248 (3.43 g, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ [7.02 (s, 2H), 3.43 (m, 2H), 2.53 (m, 1H), CH2.18 (m, 1H), 1.54 (m, 4H), 1.26 (m, 2H).]
