Procedure

Pyrrole (2.9 ml, 42 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring at room temperature to a suspension of potassium tert-butoxide (4.66 g, 42 mmol) and 18-crown-6 (0.2 g, 0.76 mmol) in ether (300 ml). After 1 hour tri-isopropylsilyl chloride (8.0 g, 42 mmol) was added dropwise, and then the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours, and filtered. The residue was washed with ether and the combined filtrate and washings were washed with brine, then dried and concentrated to give N-tri-isopropylsilylpyrrole (8.0 g, 86% yield) as a clear oil, 1H nmr: delta 1.04 (18H, d), 1.38 (3H, m), 6.22 (2H, m), 6.72 (2H, m) ppm.
