A New Method to N-Arylmethylenepyrroles from N-Acylpyrroles

All articles of this category An efficient general method for the preparation of N -arylmethylenepyrroles based on the reduction of N -acylpyrroles is reported. The reduction procedure described is sufficiently mild to make it applicable to a variety of sensitive acyl and heterocyclic acyl compounds where reduction results in cleavage of the C-N bond. The method can also be used in the preparation of pyrrole derivatives containing base sensitive protecting groups. pyrrole - synthesis - N -arylmethylenepyrroles - N -acylpyrroles - conducting polymers - reduction
