The 2-substituted products formed in these reactions are selectively and in high yield converted into 3-substituted products by treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. A general synthesis of 3-acylpyrroles was developed by the trifluoromethanesulfonic acidñmediated rearrangement of the corresponding 2-acylpyrroles. Keywords: Conducting materials, supramolecular synthons, pyrroles. Introduction Pyrrole itself and substituted pyrroles are important starting materials for the synthesis of naturally- occuring porphynoid compounds and other porphyrins, potential chemotherapeutic agents and conducting polymers [1]. Polypyrrole films are currently being explored in aplications such as biosensors, adressable gene-ships and interactive conduits for neuronal tissue engineering [2].
