Reaction Steps

2,4-Dimethyl-3-acetyl-pyrrole (1.02 g), acetic acid (15 ml), aqueous hydriodic acid (25ml) and propionaldehyde (1.74g), were stirred at 25° C. three hours under nitrogen. The work up was the same as that of 2,3,4-trimethyl-5-carbethoxy-pyrrole in Example 4 except that 2 × 50 ml ether were used. Recrystallization from benzene gave the product 0.786 g (59%) m.p. 157°-158°C.
