Abstract

The pyrrole ring corresponds to one of the more basic heteroaromatic structures. It is an essential building block for the construction of porphyrins and a key element in a number of biologically active compounds. 1 It is not surprising therefore that, over the years, much effort has been invested in the design and development of synthetic routes to pyrroles. 1,2 As part of our ongoing studies on the radical chemistry of xanthates and of sulfonyl radicals, 3 we have found a new ...
