3. We prefer to describe these conversions as Michael addition reactions rather than Friedel-Crafts processes since the pyrrole nitrogen can also add to an acrylate tethered through C2 of this five-membered heterocycle (see, for example, M. G. Banwell, A. M. Bray, A. C. Willis and D. J. Wong, New J. Chem., 1999, 23, 687).
