title: One-pot synthesis of asymmetric annulated bis(pyrrole)s.
abstract: Condensation of activated functionalized pyrroles with acetone results in asymmetric bis(pyrrole)s, formed via ring annulation. The methodology is somewhat general and can be applied to a variety of ketones, as well as to a range of pyrrolic substrates that do not bear electron-withdrawing groups directly adjacent to the pyrrole ring.
