                   Reactions of pyrrole:
              1. Electrophilic substitution reactions:
            The pyrroyl potassium as an example of N-metallated pyrroles (Li, Na, Mg ...)
            has a great synthetic value. It reacts with CO 2 and with chloroform as do phenols
            in the Kolbe and Reimer-Tiemann reactions to form pyrrole carboxylic acids
            and  pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde,  respectively  (in  the  latter  case  some  3-
            chloropyridine is also formed by ring expansion).
