2-Borylpyrrole was prepared from 2-iodopyrrole almost quantitatively and then reacted with dihaloarenes under typical reaction conditions of Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling to give bis (pyrrol-2-yl) arenes in good yields, while the cross coupling reaction of 2-iodopyrrole with 1, 4-phenylenebisboronic acid was susceptible to oxidative self-coupling to produce 4, 4′-bis (pyrrol-2-yl) biphenyl as a byproduct. These bis (pyrrol-2-yl) arenes showed strong ...
