An efficient general method for the preparation of N-arylmethylenepyrroles based on the reduction of N-acylpyrroles is reported. The reduction procedure described is sufficiently mild to make it applicable to a variety of sensitive acyl and heterocyclic acyl compounds where reduction results in cleavage of the C-N bond. The method can also be used in the preparation of pyrrole derivatives containing base sensitive protecting groups.
