The treatment of alkyl 2-chloroacetoacetate with carbohydrazide, succinic or adipic dihydrazide produces the relevant α,α′-dichlorobishydrazones. In the presence of sodium carbonate, these compounds react at room temperature with β-diketones, β-ketoesters or β-ketoamides to give rise to functionalized 1-carbonyl-aminopyrrole rings spaced by a variable number of methylene groups.
