Abstract
The synthesis of N-1-substituted 2-nitropyrrole-3,4-dicarboxamides (4–5, 7–9) was accomplished from diethyl 2-nitropyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate (2). 2-nitro-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxamide (1) was prepared by deprotection of 2-nitro-1-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxamide (9). Compound 9 was obtained by two different methods.
