Three new rnethoxypyrrole esters, ethyl 1‐methyl‐3‐methoxy‐5‐phenylpyrrole‐2‐earboxylate, diethyl l‐methyl‐3‐methoxy‐5‐phenylpyrrole‐2,4‐diearboxylate, and ethyl l‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐4‐methoxypyrrole‐3‐carboxylate were reduced with diborane/tetrahydrofuran, lithium aluminum hydride, and some related reducing agents. In each case diborane reduced the ethoxycarbonyl group to a methyl group and lithium aluminum hydride reduced it to a hydroxymethyl group.
