2-[(Bis-formyl)amino]-1-[5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-ethanone → 2-Amino-1-[5-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-ethanone hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.18 g (0.0186 mole) 2-[(Bis-formyl)amino]-1-[5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-ethanone was stirred 3 days in 5% HCl/EtOH. A 0.5 mL portion of conc. HCL was added and the reaction stirred for two more days. The solid was collected by filtration. The solid was stirred in refluxing methanol and the undissolved solid collected by filtration and discarded. The filtrate was cooled to room temperature and diethyl ether was added. The solid was collected. It was twice treated with boiling methanol to give pure product: mp 290° C.
