Description | May be prepared from Af-methyl pyrrole and Grignard reagent; by
acetylation of 1-methyl-pyrrole. |
Chemical Properties | CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT BROWN LIQUID |
Occurrence | Reported found as a component in coffee aroma, asparagus, crispbread, cooked beef, black tea, okra and clam. |
Uses | 2-Acetyl-1-methylpyrrole was employed as model pyrrole to investigate the antioxidative activity of nonenzymatic browning reactions. It was employed as catalyst for the sulfonylation of spectinomycin. |
