Abstract
Reaction of a 2-unsubstituted pyrrole with acetic anhydride and stannic chloride unexpectedly promotes self-condensation to give symmetrical di(pyrrolyl)ethene as a side-product in 6-10% yield, but overall yields of these 1,1-di(pyrrolyl)ethenes can be improved to 66% using a rational alternate route; structure and chemistry of 1,1-di(pyrrolyl)ethenes 2 are discussed.
