Abstract

A synthetic strategy has been developed which enables pyrrole to be used as the starting material for the synthesis of 2, 3, 4-trisubstituted pyrroles of the type used to construct porphyrins. The total synthesis of porphobilinogen has been accomplished as a demonstration of the applicability of the approach.
