Dimethylformamide → HCID 22622781, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,5-dimethyl-4-trifluoromethylpyrrol-3-carboxylic acid (1.9 g) and oxalyl chloride (0.9 ml) in methylene chloride (20 ml) is stirred at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMF. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to give a crystalline solid. This solid is dissolved in methylene chloride (1 ml) and added to a solution of 2-biphenylamine (1.7 g) and triethylamine (4.2 ml) in methylene chloride (20 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure, addition of water and filtering gives the N-(2-biphenylyl)-1,5-dimethyl-4-trifluoromethylpyrrol-3-carboxamide.
