Friedel-Crafts Acylation

This classic method involves the reaction of pyrrole with an acyl chloride (RCOCl) in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like aluminum chloride (AlCl3). The reaction proceeds through electrophilic aromatic substitution and usually acylates the pyrrole at the 2-position. To achieve regioselectivity, you can modify the reaction conditions, such as the choice of Lewis acid and reaction temperature.
