ethyl (E)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)prop-2-enoate

Conditions: temp:25.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a suspension of 38.3 g (341 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide at 60% in oil in 500 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise a mixture of 55.2 g (284 mmol) of ethyl (E)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)acrylate (CAS 166250-00-6) and 55.5 g (284 mmol) of tosylmethyl isocyanide (CAS 36635-61-7) dissolved in 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran, while maintaining the temperature of the reaction medium at about 25° C. The mixture is then stirred for 1 hour 30 minutes at room temperature. The mixture is then poured into saturated aqueous solution and the reaction product is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure, to give a brown solid, which is chromatographed on a column of silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane, to give 40.7 g of ethyl 4-(3-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate, in the form of a white powder after triturating in diisopropyl ether, filtering off and drying. is added dropwise The mixture is then poured into saturated aqueous solution the reaction product is extracted with ethyl acetate The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to give a brown solid, which is chromatographed on a column of silica gel eluting with dichloromethane
