Pyrrole is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring structure, and its chemical formula is C4H5N. It is a colorless or light yellow to brown liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Pyrrole is volatile at room temperature and its color tends to darken when exposed to air, so purification is usually necessary before use. In addition, pyrrole is slightly soluble in water but easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, and ether.

In terms of usage, pyrrole is widely used as a standard substance for chromatographic analysis and plays an important role in organic synthesis and the pharmaceutical industry. Its unique chemical properties give pyrrole unique advantages in the synthesis of complex organic molecules and drugs.
