Different behaviour of secondary and primary amines towards 1-alkyl-3,4-dinitropyrroles

Abstract
The reaction of 1-alkyl-3,4-dinitropyrroles with secondary amines gives nucleophilic aromatic cine substitution (formation of 1-alkyl-2-amino-4-nitropyrroles), whereas the reaction with primary amines follows a more complicated pattern, involving mainly a multistep ring-opening and ring-closure process, and also yielding the product of formal direct substitution, but not that of cine substitution.
