CAS 1003-29-8: Pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde

1H-Pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde

1H-Pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde is a compound that belongs to the class of ferrocenecarboxylic acids. It is a coordination complex with a pyrrole system and an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The proton on the carbonyl carbon atom forms hydrogen bonds with nitrogen atoms, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the carbonyl group. The structure was determined by x-ray diffraction studies and the reactivity was studied by means of X-ray crystal structures. This compound has been used for biological studies as well as for structural analysis.

Pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. It undergoes condensation reaction to produce pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde salicylhydrazone (PCSH). It is used as a key starting material for the preparation of pyrrole -2-carboxylic acid by oxidation reaction. It is also used to prepare 4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY dyes) through condensation with a pyrrole, which is an important probes for biotechnology and other applications.
