Paragraph 0047; 0048; 0049; 0050, (2017/09/02)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel production method of pyrrole carboxylic acids, with which carbon dioxide can be utilized as a carbon source and a pyrrole carboxylic acid useful as a production raw material of medicines and agrochemicals is easily produced by making 1H-pyrrole react with carbon dioxide so that a carboxy group is directly introduced into a pyrrole skeleton in a low pressure of 1 MPa or less.SOLUTION: In introducing a carboxy group into a pyrrole skeleton by directly carboxylating 1H-pyrrole with carbon dioxide in a reaction solvent and in the presence of a catalyst, an excess of basic catalyst over 1H-pyrrole is used as the catalyst so that a pyrrole carboxylic acid is produced by introducing a carboxy group into a pyrrole skeleton in a low pressure of 1 MPa or less. The basic catalyst is lithium t-butoxide.
