Syntheses of calix[4]pyrroles by amberlyst-15 catalyzed cyclocondensations of pyrrole with selected ketones.
A facile and efficient protocol is reported for the synthesis of calix[4]pyrroles and N-confused calix[4]pyrroles in moderate to excellent yields by reaction of dialkyl or cycloalkyl ketones with pyrrole catalyzed by reusable Amberlyst(TM)-15 under eco-friendly conditions.
