A novel pyrrolo-benzoxaborole, 6-(pyrrol-l-yl)-l,3-dihydro-l-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole, was synthesized with 27% overall yield over six steps from 2-bromo-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene as starting material. Its derivatization was achieved via Friedel-Crafts reaction catalyzed by anhydrous stannic chloride with various acyl chlorides giving 3-acyl-1-phenylpyrroles as the main products.
