A comparison of the behaviour on the nitrosation of the isomers 5‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)‐ ( 1a ) 5‐(3‐methoxyphenyl)‐ ( 1b ) and 5‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)2,3‐diphenylpyrroles ( 1c ) carried out in the usual way with iso ‐amyl nitrite in a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol evidences that 1a is dramatically less reactive with respect to 1b and 1c . The different reactivity was ascribed to the occurrence of a strong hydrogen bond involving pyrrole N H and the ortho ‐methoxy group.
