Xanthobilirubic acid, 5-[1,5-didehydro-3-ethyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)methyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-3-propanoic acid, its methyl ester, amide, N-methylamide and dimethylamide, and kryptopyrromethenone have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. In d₆-DMSO solution all pyrromethenones were monomeric, with lactam and pyrrole N-Hs H-bonded to solvent. In deuteriochloroform, the pyrromethenones preferred a dimeric form, with intramolecular H-bonding between the lactam C = 0 of one unit and the lactam and pyrrole N-Hs of the second.
