Direct Arylation of Pyrroles via Indirect Electroreductive C–H Functionalization Using Perylene Bisimide as an Electron-Transfer Mediator

Abstract

The indirect electroreductive coupling of aryl halides and pyrroles was successfully conducted using a catalytic amount of perylene bisimide as a mediator in 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium bis­((trifluoro­methyl)­sulfonyl)­imide ([EMIM]­NTf₂)/DMSO
