α‐Methylpyrroles are converted to α‐formyl by sodium bromate in aqueous methanol in ∼60% yield. Adding 1% ceric ammonium nitrate as a co‐oxidant brings the isolated yields of synthetically useful 2‐formylpyrroles 2a‐d up to ∼70%, or close to those found when using only the considerably more expensive ceric ammonium nitrate as oxidant.
