Uses
Diethyl 3,4-pyrroledicarboxylate may be used in the synthesis of trisubstituted pyrroles like diethyl 1-hydroxymethyl-3,4-pyrroledicarboxylate and diethyl 1-benzoyloxyrmethyl-3,4-pyrroledicarboxylate. It is also used to prepare pyrrole copolymer soft actuators with reduced electrochemical creep and actuating strain.

General Description
Diethyl 3,4-pyrroledicarboxylate (Diethyl 1
H-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate) is a 3,4-pyrrole dicarboxylic diester. It has been prepared by the hydrolysis of diethyl 1-benzoyl-3,4-pyrroledicarboxylate and confirmed by IR, NMR and mass spectra.
