Abstract.Irradiation of the 2-styrylpyrroles 3 and 5 resulted in intermolecular addition of the pyrrole derivative to the double bond of a second molecule in a regiospecific way to give the dimeric products 6 and 7 as the main products. The N-methyl-substituted derivative 4 did not show the same reaction, but reacts as the corresponding furan derivative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
