Abstract
Pyrroles are the most prevalent heterocyclic compounds, which are present as the basic cores in
many natural products, such as vitamin B12, bile pigments like bilirubin and biliverdin, the porphyrins of
heme, chlorophyll, chlorins, bacteriochlorins, and porphyrinogens. The biological activities of compounds
having pyrrole analogs include antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal), anti-cancer (anti-cytotoxic, antimitotic),
anti-tumor, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiproliferative,
anti-HIV and anti-viral activities. Accordingly, significant attention has been paid to develop competent
methods for the synthesis of pyrroles with improved yields in short times. This review gives an overview of
different methods for the synthesis of pyrrole using easily available precursors using the following routes.
Synthesis of monosubstituted pyrrole using 2,5-dimethoxyfuran
Synthesis of pyrrole using dialkylacetylene dicarboxylate
Synthesis of pyrroles using β-ketoester
Synthesis of pyrrole using 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds
Synthesis of pyrroles using 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds
Synthesis of pyrroles using 1,3-dicarbonyl, amine, nitro and aldehyde group
Synthesis of pyrroles using 1,4-dicarbonyl compound and amines
Synthesis of pyrrole using enones
Synthesis of pyrroles using moieties having acetylene group

Abstract
:
Pyrrole derivatives are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and widely
distributed in a large number of natural and non-natural compounds. These compounds
possess a broad spectrum of biological activities such as anti-infammatory, antiviral, antitumor,
antifungal, and antibacterial activities. Besides their biological activity, pyrrole derivatives
have also been applied in various areas such as dyes, conducting polymers, organic
semiconductors.
:
Due to such a wide range of applicability, access to this class of compounds has attracted
intensive research interest. Various established synthetic methods such as Paal-Knorr,
Huisgen, and Hantzsch have been modified and improved. In addition, numerous novel
methods for pyrrole synthesis have been discovered. This review will focus on considerable
studies on the synthesis of pyrroles, which date back from 2014.
