Abstract

Simple synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles using microwave-induced bismuth nitrate- catalyzed reaction has been accomplished with an excellent yield. A plausible mechanism has been advanced. This reaction also provides a simple method to prepare diverse varieties of N-substituted pyrrole derivatives with less nucleophilic polyaromatic amines.
