Bromomethyl 4-methoxyphenyl ketone → HCID 67365424, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 5-bromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (0.13 g, 0.64 mmol), 2-bromo-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (160 mg, 0.69 mmol) and potassium carbonate (132 mg, 0.95 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. At this time, the light brown reaction mixture was quenched with water. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo. The resulting solid was dissolved in methylene chloride, concentrated in vacuo and then triturated with diethyl ether. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to afford 5-bromo-1-[2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (155 mg, 69%) as light brown solid. 1H NMR (chloroform-d) δ ppm 8.00 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.96-7.07 (m, 3H), 6.85 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 5.71 (s, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.75 (s, 3H).
