Abstract

Simple 3-hydroxypyrroles are obtained by pyrolysis of appropriate aminomethylene Meldrum's acid derivatives: the unusual reactions of these compounds with acids, bases, and electrophiles is discussed. ... Despite the great importance in heterocyclic chemistry of the hydroxy (or 0x0) function, simple examples in the pyrrole series are rare. Indeed, the only 3-hydroxypyrroles [pyrrol- 3(2H)-ones] to be investigated in detail*--3 are substituted at the potentially ...
