The synthesis of acetal and thioacetal derivatives of simple pyrroles is described. Methods are reported which allow the use of the thioacetal function as a means of protecting a formyl group in a pyrrolic molecule during the preparation of a dipyrrylmethane. By this procedure certain α-formyldipyrrylmethanes, not accessible by other methods, have been obtained.
