Typical procedure for the preparation of 3-bromo-
N
-methylpyrrole(2): N-Methylpyrrole (0.45 g, 5.6 mmol) was dissolved in THF (20 mL) and cooled to -78 °C (dry ice-acetone bath). PBr3 (0.1 g, 0.37 mmol; by syringe) and NBS (1.0 g, 5.6 mmol; by the use of glass-finger) were subsequently added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at -78 °C. It was left overnight in a freezer (-10 °C) and afterwards Et3N (0.56 g, 5.6 mmol) and hexane (50 mL) were added. After stirring for 5 min, the precipitate was filtered off through a layer of 10 g of Al2O3 and the solution obtained dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvents and excess of Et3N were removed under reduced pressure;
0.77 g (87%) of 3-bromo-N-methylpyrrole(2) was obtained as a bright yellow oil. The compound was stored at +4 °C for several weeks without any significant decomposition.

Typical procedure for the preparation of 2-bromo-
N
-methylpyrrole(3): To N-Methylpyrrole (0.38 g, 4.7 mmol) dissolved in THF (20 mL) and cooled in dry ice-acetone bath, NBS (0.84 g, 4.7 mmol) was added by the use of glass-finger. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at -78 °C, and afterwards Et3N (0.47 g, 4.7 mmol) and hexane (50 mL) were added. After stirring for 5 min, the precipitate was filtered off through a layer of 10 g of Al2O3 and the solution dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvents and excess of Et3N were removed under reduced pressure; 0.54 g (72%) of 2-bromo-N-methylpyrrole(3) as a bright yellow oil was obtained and stored for several weeks at +4 °C without any significant decomposition.

Typical procedure for the preparation of 3-substituted-
N
-methylpyrroles:3-triethylstannyl-
N
-methylpyrrole(5b): 3-Bromo-N-methylpyrrole (1.0 g, 6.24 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution containing n-butyllithium in hexane
(6.87 mmol, 1.1 equiv), anhydrous THF (20 mL) and TMEDA (0.8 g, 6.87 mmol) at -78 °C (dry ice-acetone bath). After an additional period of 1 h, solution of triethylchlorstannane (1.66 g, 6.87 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) was added dropwise for over 10 min. The cooling bath was then removed, the reaction mixture left for 4 h at room temperature and afterwards hydrolysed with water. The organic layer combined with ethereal extracts (3 × 15 mL) of the aqueous phase were dried over sodium sulphate and subsequently concentrated under reduced pressure. The yield of the crude product was 89% (1.58 g).
