Abstract

The Stetter procedure has been adapted to produce oligomeric and polymeric pyrrolylpyridines, which have been characterised by 13C NMR spectroscopy. The lower activity of 2-(pyrrol-2-yl) pyridines towards quaternisation permits selective N-alkylation of 2-, 3-and 4-(pyrrol-2-yl) pyridines.
