This chapter discusses the progress in synthesis and chemistry of pyrroles, indoles, and related fused ring systems. Several specialized reviews on the chemistry of indoles and pyrroles have appeared during the reporting period, providing more in-depth coverage. A comprehensive review on pyrrole natural products has appeared as well as a more limited one on the synthetic chemistry involving the pyrrole natural products roseophilin and prodigiosin is illustrated in this chapter. Likewise, the synthetic efforts in the field of the pyrrole-imidazole class of alkaloids have been covered. The isolation and synthesis of indole alkaloids containing a non-rearranged monoterpenoid unit is discussed in this chapter.
