A new approach for the synthesis of fused pyrroles. The synthesis of acyl substituted pyrrolo[1,2‐ x ]azines

N ‐Acetonyl‐ and N ‐phenacyl quaternary salts of α‐methyl substituted heterocycles 16, 17, 21, 23 and 26 were converted with DMFDMA into the corresponding 3‐acylpyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]pyridine 18 , 7‐benzoylpyrrolo‐[1,2‐ c ]pyrimidine 22 , and 6‐benzoylpyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]pyrazine derivatives 24 and 27 . A concurrent reaction produced methyl and phenyl substituted pyrrolo[1,2‐ x ]azines 19, 20, 25 and 28 .
