Description
3,5-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (CAS No. 40236-20-2) is a high-purity nitro-substituted pyrrole derivative with the molecular formula C7H8N2O3. This heterocyclic aldehyde features a reactive formyl group (–CHO) at the 2-position and a nitro (–NO2) functional group at the 4-position, flanked by methyl substituents at the 3- and 5-positions. Its unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for constructing complex nitrogen-containing scaffolds. Supplied as a crystalline solid with ≥95% purity (HPLC), it is rigorously tested for consistency in batch-to-batch performance. Store under inert conditions at 2–8°C to maintain stability. Ideal for pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and materials science applications requiring tailored pyrrole chemistry.

Application
This nitro-functionalized pyrrole aldehyde serves as a key building block in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds, including potential kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its electron-withdrawing nitro group enhances reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions, while the aldehyde moiety enables condensation reactions for heterocycle formation. Researchers utilize it to develop novel pigments and conductive polymers due to its conjugated π-system. In medicinal chemistry, it has been explored as a precursor for prodrugs targeting nitroreductase-expressing tissues.
