Abstract—In this communication we describe the first results of an efficient synthesis of b-free-dipyrromethanes in water. This new
method affords very pure products in moderate to high yields, using a cheap, non-toxic, environment friendly solvent, in a
one-step procedure from pyrrole and carbonyl compounds, needing little or no work up procedures. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
