✦ Synopsis
Cyclo[8]
pyrrole (1), although lacking bridging meso carbon atoms, may be considered as a larger analogue of porphyrin (2) in that it is flat and aromatic (see Scheme 1). [1] For this reason, we have been interested in exploring the chemical behavior of cyclo [8]pyrrole and contrasting it to that of the porphyrins. In previous work, we have found that cyclo[8]pyrrole in its diprotonated form may be reduced electrochemically to produce a formally antiaromatic 32-p-electron species under conditions that are much less forcing than those needed to reduce typical porphyrins. [2] Here we report that cyclo[8]pyrrole, upon treatment with NaH and an alkyl halide, undergoes chemical reduction to produce an octa-N-

## Abstract Cyclo[8]pyrrole was obtained efficiently when 3,3′,4,4′‐tetraethylbipyrrole was subjected to bulk electrolysis, with yields spanning a range from close to 0 % with tetra‐__n__‐butylammonium fluoride as the electrolyte, to almost 70 % when tetra‐__n__‐butylammonium hydrogensulfate was us
Electrochemically generated tetraethylammonium peroxy-corresponding N-alkylated pyrroles in high yields. C-Alkylated pyrroles have not been isolated in any case dicarbonate (TEAPC) and tetraethylammonium carbonate (TEAC) react under very mild conditions with pyrroles reported. affording, after addit
