vention to provide an eflicient process for. thepreparation of Z-acylpyrroles. Another object is to provide a process for the preparation of 2-acy1pyrroles in a direct manner which canbe easily carried out using relatively inexpensive equipment. A very important object is to provide an improved process for producing 2-acylpyrroles by reacting a Z-acylfuran with a nitrogen base. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the invention is more fully described. I I
Broadly stated, the present invention provides an improved process for the production of 2-acylpyrroles which comprises heating a Z-acylfuran with a suitable nitrogen base at elevated temperatures. In view of the fact that the particular reactants used may be selected from a large list and since the best operating temperature depends largely upon the specific reactants used, the temperature employed may vary from about" 50 to 250 C. Generally, we prefer to operate within a temperature range of- 80 to 200 C. It is to=be understood, however, that higher or lower temperatures may be used with a-resultant increase or decrease in the reaction. rate in accordance with the general lawof chemical reactions.
The. proportion of reactants, i. e., 2-acy1furan andthe nitrogen base used in our process may be varied over a wide range. Theoretically in our process, one mole of the 2-acylfuran reacts with one mole of the nitrogen base to form a ketimine, or Schilfs base, and with an additional mole of nitrogen base to form a pyrrole; in accordance with the following equations:

EXAll/IPL13} 1 Preparation of Z-acetylpyrrole To 30 parts by weight of 2-acetylfuran was added 97 parts by weight'of anhydrous ammonia dissolved in 800 parts by volume of ethanol. After heating the solution for about twenty hours at to C. in an autoclave the solution was concentrated to 50 parts by volume by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue, upon cooling, yielded 2.9 parts by weight (10 per cent of theory) of crystalline 2-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine as a precipitate which had a melting point of 168.3168.5 C. The filtrate, upon distillation under reduced pressure, yielded 11.1 parts by weight of Z-acetylpyrrole M. P. 90.0-

After the reaction had subsided, 100 parts by volume of liquid ammonia additional was added, the resulting solution heated for 16 hours at 100-1l0 C. in an autoclave and then the excess ammonia removed by distillation. The residue was dissolved in ether, filtered, ether removed by evaporation and the residue distilled under vacuum. 2.6 parts by weight of 2-acetylpyrro1e boiling range 84-8'l C. at 2 mm. was obtained which represented a yield of 8.8 per cent of theory.
EXAMPLE 3 Preparation of I-n-DutyZ-Z-acetylpyrrole To 30 parts by weight of 2-acetylfuran were added 60 parts by weight of n-butylamine and 350 parts by volume of ethanol. After heating the solution for about 7 /2 hours at 125130 C. in the autoclave, the ethanol and excess n-butylamine were removed by distillation and upon under reduced pressure by weight (17 per cent of theory) of 1-n-butyl-2-acetylpyrrole was obtained. The product had a boiling range of 72-74 C. at about 1 mm. Its 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative melted at 147.0147.5 C. By further distillation under reduced pressure 9.9 grams of a higher boiling point range (115- 135 C. at 1 mm.) was obtained which probably contained the butyl ketimine of 1-n-butyl-2- acetylpyrrole.
