May be prepared from Af-methyl pyrrole and Grignard reagent; by
acetylation of 1-methyl-pyrrole.
CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT BROWN LIQUID
Reported found as a component in coffee aroma, asparagus, crispbread, cooked beef, black tea, okra and clam.
2-Acetyl-1-methylpyrrole was employed as model pyrrole to investigate the antioxidative activity of nonenzymatic browning reactions. It was employed as catalyst for the sulfonylation of spectinomycin.
From N-methyl pyrrole and Grignard reagent; by acetylation of 1-methyl-pyrrole.
ChEBI: A pyrrole carrying methyl and acetyl substituent at the 1- and 2-positions respectively.
Reduction of 2-acetyl-1-methylpyrrole with sodium borohydride has been investigated.
