The apparent and the real : What looks like a Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction of electron‐deficient pyrroles is actually a Pd II ‐catalyzed, norbornene‐mediated CH activation reaction, in which the alkylation of the pyrrole core occurs by reductive elimination. As well as ethyl‐1 H ‐pyrrole‐2‐carboxylate (see scheme), several other 2,3‐disubstituted pyrroles underwent the selective C5 alkylation in good yield.
