✦ Synopsis
2-Cyanopyrrole was found to form (2-pyrrolyhnetheoe)-(2-pyxmlyhnethyl)imine when treated witi lithium ahuninum hydride (LAH). followed by a mild work-up. A plausible mechanism of this reductive coupling was inferred from a series of experiments, including ~~AI-NMR, deuteration experiments, and the reduction of variously substituted cyawpynn les. The mechanism, a metal chelate mediateddimekation, may be the key to understanding porphocyanine synthesis via the LAH reduction of 1.9dicyanodipyrmmeUmnes.
