Arylpyrroles and -indoles are electrosynthesized via a SRN1 type reaction. With pyrrolyl anion, the reaction leads mainly to α-substitution, but β-substitution and disubstitution are also observed. With indolyl anion, the main product corresponds to β-substitution. In both cases, the yield of the main product is higher than 50%.
