Pyrrole undergoes electrophilic
- a. Propose a mechanism for the acetylation of pyrrole just shown. You may begin with pyrrole and the acylium ion,
- b. Explain why pyrrole reacts more readily than benzene, and also why substitution occurs primarily at the 2-position rather than the 3-position.

Using Br₂ under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable.
