Improved preparation of 3-methylpyrrole. Laboratory note was written by Elguero, Jose;Jacquier, Robert;Shimizu, Bernard. And the article was included in Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de France in 1967.Category: esters-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
An improved synthesis of 3-methylpyrrole (I) and the N.M.R. spectra of the intermediates and product are given. Thus, 20 g. 3-carbethoxy-4-methyl-2-pyrrolecarboxylic acid is refluxed 1 hr. with 300 ml. 40% KOH, cooled, acidified with dilute HCl, filtered, washed with water, and dried to give 70% 4-methylpyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (II), m. 225°. II (12 g.) is added to 1 g. powd. Cu and heated under 50 mm. to dist. 87% I. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl 4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (cas: 2199-49-7Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
Ethyl 4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (cas: 2199-49-7) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
