title: Simple synthesis of substituted pyrroles.
abstract: Simple synthesis of substituted pyrroles using iodine-catalyzed and montmorillonite KSF-clay-induced modified Paal-Knorr methods has been accomplished with excellent yields. N-Substituted carbazole has also been prepared by following this method. If one of the reactants is a liquid, the reaction proceeds exceedingly well without a solvent. This method gives pyrroles with less nucleophilic multicyclic aromatic amines at room temperature.
