100 MHz, respectively, using DMSO-d6 as solvent and
tetramethylsilane as internal reference. The purity of
the isolated compounds was checked by TLC on
Silufol plates using benzene–ethyl acetate (5:1) or
ethyl acetate as eluent.
Ethyl 1-cyclohexyl-4,5-dioxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihy-
dro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (Ib). A solution of
0.1 mol of ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylbutanoate, 0.5 mol of
cyclohexylamine, and 0.5 mol of acetic acid in 100 ml
of anhydrous ethanol was heated for 2 h under reflux.
The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the
residue was dissolved in 100 ml of benzene, the solu-
tion was washed with 5% hydrochloric acid (2×20 ml)
and water (3×100 ml) and dried over magnesium sul-
fate, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure,
and the oily residue, ethyl 3-phenyl-3-cyclohexyl-
aminoacrylate, was dissolved without additional puri-
fication in 50 ml of chloroform. Oxalyl chloride,
0.08 mol, was added to the resulting solution, the mix-
ture was heated for 2 h under reflux, cooled, and
diluted with 50 ml of hexane, and the precipitate was
filtered off. Yield 66%, mp 145–148°C (from chloro-
form–hexane, 1 : 1). IR spectrum, ν, cm–1: 1773
