It is proposed that the biosynthesis of uroporphyrinogen III 3, the parent precursor of the natural porphyrins, chlorins and corrins, involves a 2H-pyrrole (pyrrolenine) 2 as a key intermediate. Model pyrrolenines have now been used to show that (a) pyrro

A di(pyrrolylmethyl)-2H-pyrrole has been synthesised and its ready acid-catalysed rearrangement shows that one of the two possible modes of cleavage is preferred; this mode corresponds to that required for the formation of uroporphyrinogen-III from the putative spiro intermediate.
