Abstract
Abstract Reaction of the tert -butyl ester of 3-methoxy-2-pyrrole carboxylic acid with singlet oxygen yields a peroxidic intermediate which undergoes coupling with a range of nucleophiles to yield 5-substituted pyrroles. Among these products are α,α′-bipyrroles which serve as precursors of prodigiosin, including A-ring substituted analogues.
