Abstract 2-Bromo-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) pyrrole (2), a crystalline stable derivative of 2- bromopyrrole (1) has been prepared in 80% yield by bromination of pyrrole, followed by conversion to the N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) derivative. This compound is stable indefinitely at ambient temperature. Compound 2 is an excellent substrate for Suzuki coupling with arylboronic acids.
