Abstract

Abstract Friedel-Crafts acylation of methyl 2, 5-dimethylpyrrole-3-carboxylate with 2- chloromethylbenzoyl chloride generated the corresponding 4-(2-chloromethylbenzoyl) pyrrole which was reacted in situ with benzene and aluminum chloride to yield the novel calcium channel activator FPL 64176.
