N-Unsubstituted alkylprroles are obtained by the reduction of the corresponding acylpyrroles with sodium borohydride in boiling 2-propanol. This reaction was demonstrated to proceed via the pyrrolylalkylcarbinol and was extended to the synthesis of a branched chain alkylpyrrole 25 from the tertiary alcohol 24.Alkylpyrroles can be prepared by a variety of methods, among which thereduction of the very readily available C-acylpyrroles is of particular importance. This reduction has been accomplishedby the Wolff-Kishner method, with lithium aluminum hydride, with diborane, and by catalytic hydrogenation. 2 In addition, diverse 2-benzylpyrroles have been synthesized by the reduction of 2-benzoylpyrroles with sodium borohydride in boiling dioxane3 and with lithium in ammonia4 or by the lithium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride reduction of 6-aryl-6-(IV, iV-di-alkylamino)-1-azafulvinium salts. 5 Of the reductive methods cited above, the Wolff-Kishner and lithium alu-minum hydride processes are the most useful, but the vigorous nature and/or lack of selectivity thereof decreases their scope.
