title: Synthesis of pyrrolnitrin and related halogenated phenylpyrroles.
abstract: A general approach to halogenated arylpyrroles, including the antifungal natural product pyrrolnitrin, is described using newly synthesized halogenated pyrroles and 2,6-disubstituted nitrobenzenes or 2,6-disubstituted anilines.
