A novel access to bisformylated pyrroles via decarboxylation of N-aryl-γ-lactam-carboxylic acids under Vilsmeier reaction conditions

摘要

A simple methodology for the conversion of substituted N-aryl-γ-lactam 2/3-carboxylic acids to substituted N-aryl-diformylated pyrroles has been developed. Several γ-lactam 2/3-carboxylic acids were subjected to Vilsmeier reagent and substituted diformylated pyrroles are isolated in one-step process.
