A NEW CONVENIENT METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF PERFLUOROALKYL 2H-PYRROLE

The reaction between 2,5-Dimethylpyrrole (1) and R_FI (2)(R_F: a, Cl(CF_2)_4; b, Cl(CF_2)_6; c, Cl(CF_2)_8; d, n-C_6F_(13); e, n-C_8F_(17)) in the presence of Na_2S_2O_4-NaHCO_3 in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of 2-perfluoroalkyl-2,5-dimethyl-2H-pyrrole (3) as a major product in good yield.
