The reaction between ethyl 3‐bromopyruvate and p ‐substituted anilines was found to involve the unexpected participation of acetone (solvent) forming N ‐aryl‐5‐methyl‐pyrrole‐3‐carboxylates. The influence of p ‐substituents of aniline and the feasibility with other ketones were studied. N ‐aryl‐indole‐3‐carboxylate (17) was synthesized successfully with this method. The unique character of p ‐methoxy‐aniline in this reaction was discussed.
