Abstract
Using proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy, the transformation of 2-hydroxyethylpyrroles (5,15) into 2-haloethylpyrroles by treatment with thionyl chloride or carbon tetrabromide/triphenylphosphine is shown to proceed by randomization of the two side-chain carbon atoms. A spirocyclopropylpyrrolium ion (19) is postulated as an intermediate in this unexpected process. © 1981.
