Procedure

Ethyl 1-(2-pyridylmethyl)-5-(4-phenylbenzoyl)-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (5.3 g.) was combined with 150 ml. of dioxane, 5 ml. of water and 10 g. of selenium dioxide and refluxed for approximately 16 hours. Insoluble material was separated by filtration, the filtrate was diluted with 150 ml. of ether and 150 ml. of water, the mixture equilibrated, the ether phase separated, back-washed twice with 100 ml. portions of water, filtered and concentrated to yield ethyl 5-(4-phenylbenzoyl)pyrrole-3-carboxylate (3.1 g, solid; Rf 0.4 on silica gel thin layer chromatography with ethyl acetate-1/hexane-5/5% acetic acid as eluant).
