Abstract

Ts of the N-(arylsulfony1) pyrrole nucleus, we have explored the reactions with sulfur electrophiles, with the ultimate objective being to devise a general method for the preparation of rare 3-pyrrolyl sulfides. 5 In contrast to the facile 3-acylations, all attempts to introduce sulfur electrophiles directly at the 3-position of 1 failed (eg, reaction of 1 with benzenesulfenyl chloride yielded a complex mixture). However, we have found a useful ...
