3,4-Disubstituted pyrroles (2, 3) were prepared from 6/7-carboxyethyl-3-phenyl-3-tropen-2-ones (1) regioselectively and with high yields by using tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC). This procedure enables the synthesis of pyrroles substituted with two distinct groups: a phenyl group and a substituted pyrrolidine analogue. The crystal structure of product 2a was determined, and the analogous derivatives were identified by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy.
