Abstract

A new, green, and efficient method for synthesis of a variety of N-substituted pyrroles from condensation reactions of 2,5-hexanedione with amines or diamines using xanthan sulfuric acid as a biosupported and reusable ecofriendly catalyst under solvent-free conditions at room temperature is described. The use of a nontoxic, inexpensive, easily available, and reusable biosupported proton source catalyst under solvent-free conditions makes this protocol practical, environmentally friendly, and economically attractive.
