Isotopic Labeling Study of the Formation of Calix[5]pyrroles Catalyzed by Bi(NO3)3

One of the more elusive classes of macrocycles includes the calix[5]pyrroles, which can be obtained from pyrrole and acetone in the presence of low concentrations of Bi(NO3)3-5H2O. An isotopic labeling experiment aided the proposal of a mechanism to explain the formation of calix[5]pyrrole at low ac...
