3‐Lithio‐1‐(trimethylsilyl)pyrrole ( 7 , Schem 2 ), obtained by halogen‐metal interchange from the 3‐bromo compound 2 , reacted with various electrophilic reagents to provide products, which on fluoride ion desilylation, gave 3‐substituted pyrroles in good overall yields. One such pyrrole 13 ( Schem 3 ), was converted into 2‐formyl‐3‐octadeclpyrrole ( 14 ), reputed to be a metabolite of the marine sponge Oscarella lobularis . 3,4‐Dibromo‐1‐(triisopropylsityl)pyrrole ( 5 ) was efficiently transformed, by a process involving two consecutive bromine‐lithium exchange reactions ( Scheme 4 ), into the antibiotic verrucarin E 17 .
