Popis: A new series of polyfunctionalized pyrroles has been obtained in very good yield when the product of reductive electrolysis of dry acetonitrile (3-aminocrotonitrile anion), is added to different phenacyl bromide solutions at low temperature under an argon atmosphere. The reactive anion is achieved by amperometric reduction of the solvent at stainless steel cathode and using a magnesium sacrificial anode.
