1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole
1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole (CAS 5044-38-2) is an N-aryl pyrrole building block with the molecular formula C10H8ClN and a molar mass of 177.63 g/mol. This crystalline halogenated heterocycle pairs a pyrrole ring N-substituted with a 4-chlorophenyl group, melting at about 88-91 °C. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it at 97% assay as a research-grade intermediate for organic synthesis, where the chloroarene handle and electron-rich pyrrole support cross-coupling and further functionalisation.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as an N-aryl pyrrole scaffold in organic and medicinal chemistry synthesis. The combined pyrrole and 4-chlorophenyl motif provides a versatile starting point for constructing more elaborate heterocyclic frameworks.
Cross-coupling intermediate
The aromatic carbon-chlorine bond offers a handle for palladium-catalysed cross-coupling and related substitution chemistry. This allows the aryl ring to be elaborated into biaryls and other extended structures.
Pyrrole functionalisation studies
The electron-rich pyrrole ring is amenable to electrophilic substitution and metalation, making the compound useful for methodology and structure-activity exploration. It is typically employed at laboratory and pilot scale.
Research and reference reagent
Supplied at 97% assay for use as a reagent and reference material in chemical synthesis programmes. Suitable for halogenated heterocycle and pyrrole chemistry investigations.
