bifonazole and pyrrolnitrin, two compounds belonging to the class of antimycotic drugs. The synthesis of the title pyrroles has been performed starting from 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones, which were reacted with tosylmethyl isocyanide to give 3-aroyl-4-arylpyrroles. Reduction of the resulting compounds by lithiumaluminumhydride furnished the related alcohols, which were treated with 1,1'-carbonyldimidazole to
