Reaction Steps

Crude 2-hydroxyethyl 4-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrole-2-carboxylate (3 g.) was heated on a steam bath with potassium hydroxide (2 g.) in 25 ml. of water and 25 ml. of ethanol for 30 minutes. The balance of the ethanol was evaporated in vacuo, chloroform (25 ml.) was added and 4-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (723 mg., m.p. 219°-222° C., ir(KBr): 3390, 3077 and 1695 cm.-1, m/e 221/223) recovered by filtration.
