PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a 2,4-dimethyl-3,5-bisalkoxycarbonylpyrrole by enabling operations under milder conditions than those of a conventional technique and avoidance of the formation of by-products. SOLUTION: An alkyl acetoacetate is nitrosated to produce an alkyl 2- nitrosoacetoacetate, which is then reduced with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst to form an amine. The resultant amino compound without isolation is condensed in the presence of the corresponding alkyl acetoacetate without undergoing the nitrosation to produce 2,4-dimethyl-3,5- bisalkoxycarbonylpyrrole.
