Reaction of benzenesulfonyl chlorides with 1H-pyrrole afforded the related 1-benzenesulfonyl pyrroles, which were transformed into the corresponding 3-aroyl derivatives by Friedel-Crafts condensation. Reduction of the ketone group led to 1-arylsulfonyl-3-(α-hydroxybenzyl)-1H-pyrroles. When assayed on MT-4 cells some carbinol derivatives were found to be active against HIV-1 at low micromolar concentrations.
