Abstract
A new hydrogenation method for the saturation of the pyrrole ring has been applied in the hydrogenation of methyl 1-methyl-2-pyrroleacetate in non-acidic medium. Various catalytic metals and solvents have been screened. High conversion and selectivity were achieved with rhodium a nd ruthenium catalysts. In palladium catalyzed hydrogenations the sele ctivity was improved by appropriate solvents.
