Popis: A convenient, large-scale synthesis of the antibiotic pyoluteorin, 2,3-dichloro-5-(2′,6′-dihydroxybenzoyl)-pyrrole (1), is described. A key step in the synthesis involved a Friedel-Crafts aroylation of pyrrole with 2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride (3) in methylene chloride. The desired intermediate, 2-(2′,6′-dimethoxybenzoyl)pyrrole (4), was obtained as the major product, along with a product of beta substitution (6). Compound 4 was converted to pyoluteroin (1) in four steps in an overall yield of 51%.
