Abstract

N-Alkyl and arylpyrroles are important intermediates in the formation of modified pyrrole polymers which have found uses in a wide variety of applications. 1, 2 Our interest in these materials is in their use in molecular electronics3 and sensors. 4 The preparation of these compounds traditionally has involved deprotonation of the 1-position of the pyrrole ring under nitrogen in a solution of THF with Na, K, 5 or n-BuLi6 or under phase transfer ...
