An unusual dehalogenation of 4-bromopyrrole-2-carboxylates under Suzuki coupling conditions has been observed. This dehalogenation can be suppressed by protection of the pyrrole nitrogen. Using a BOC protecting group, not only is dehalogenation suppressed, but the protecting group is also removed under the reaction conditions.
