N-Boc-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde
N-Boc-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde (CAS: 161282-57-1), with the molecular formula C10H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 195.22 g/mol, is a protected heterocyclic aldehyde. It functions as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly for the construction of more complex pyrrole derivatives. Its utility extends to pharmaceutical research and the development of novel organic materials, where the Boc protecting group allows for selective reactions at other sites before deprotection.

Heterocyclic Synthesis
Serves as a key intermediate for synthesizing substituted pyrroles, which are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds.
Organic Building Block
The presence of both the aldehyde and the Boc-protected pyrrole nitrogen makes it a versatile synthon for introducing functionalized pyrrole rings into larger molecular structures.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Used in the development pathways for new drug candidates, leveraging the pyrrole core structure for potential therapeutic applications.
Materials Science Research
Can be employed in the synthesis of organic electronic materials or polymers where a functionalized pyrrole unit is desired.
