1-(2-Aminophenyl)pyrrole 5 was synthesized by using 1,2-phenylenediamine with 2,5-dimethoxy-tetrahydrofuran in glacial acetic acid. 1-(3-Aminophenyl)pyrrole 7 and 1,3-dipyrrolylbenzene 8 were obtained by using 1,3-phenylene-diamine with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran in glacial acetic acid. 1,4-Dipyrrolylbenzene 10 was synthesized by using 1,4-phenylenediamine with 2,5-dimethoxy-tetrahydrofuran in glacial acetic acid. Aminophenylpyrroles 5, 7 and dipyrrolylbenzenes 8, 10 were respectively synthesized by treatment of 1,2-phenylenediamine, 1,3-phenylenediamine, 1,4-phenylene-diamine and 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran in (1) no solvent or (2) acrylic acid or (3) silica gel or (4) acrylic acid and silica gel or (5) silica gel and glacial acetic acid instead of glacial acetic acid. The best yield for dipyrrolylbenzene 10 was obtained when silica gel and glacial acetic acid was used. 9-Phenyl-carbazole 11 was synthesized by treatment of 1-phenylpyrrole with 2,5-dimethoxy-tetrahydrofuran in glacial acetic acid.
