Abstract
A process for the preparation of a 3-cyano-4-arylpyrrole of the formula ##STR1## in which Ar is optionally substituted heteroaryl or aryl, which comprises (a) reacting an .alpha.-cyanoacrylic acid derivative of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 is amino or alkoxy, with an isocyanoacetic acid ester of the formula ##STR3## in which R.sup.2 is alkyl, in the presence of a base thereby to produce a .DELTA..sup.2 -pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid derivative of the formula ##STR4## in which X represents hydrogen or an equivalent of an inorganic or organic cation, PA0 and (b) oxidatively decarboxylating the .DELTA..sup.2 -pyrroline-2-carboxylic -pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid. The end products are known fungicides and the intermediates IVa are new and themselves fungicidally active.
