26. The two pyrrole proton signals were both singlets, consistent with a 2,4-substitution pattern (see the Supporting Information for spectra).
27. The structure of 5h was confirmed by synthesis and subsequent reduction of the known methyl 4-formyl-2-pyrrole carboxylate (see the Supporting Information for spectra).
28. The structure assignment was based on a comparison of proton NMRs to reported data: Sai, H.; Ogiku, T.; Ohmizu, H. Synthesis 2003, 2, 201.
29. The main byproduct was protodehalogenated material.
