Synthesis and some chemical conversions of 2-([2,2]-5-paracyclophanyl) pyrrole

2-([2,2]-5-Paracyclophanyl)pyrrole has been synthesized and nitration and formylation of it have been effected. The 1-β-cyanoethyl derivative and 2-formyl-5-paracyclophanyl-3H-pyrrolizine have been obtained from 5-formyl-2-([2,2]-5-paracyclophanyl)pyrrole by the action of acrylonitrile and acrolein respectively under Michael reaction conditions.
