Abstract: The present invention discloses processes for producing substituted pyrrole compounds, such as 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles. Synthetic processes which directly convert substituted furan compounds to substituted pyrrole compounds, via a reaction of the substituted furan compound with ammonia and/or an ammonium salt in the presence of a catalyst, also are described.

Abstract: A two-piece tank dolly for transporting heavy objects such as industrial cylindrical tanks. The device comprises a base assembly that is removably attachable to a bottom portion of the cylindrical tank. The base assembly further comprises a pair of wheels attached to a frame. The frame includes a support for receiving the tank. A separate handle assembly is also removably attachable to an upper portion of the tank by a strap or other similar device. The handle assembly includes at least one handle which is used by a person to control the tank during transport. The handle assembly may also include a mechanism to lock and release the handle assembly from around the tank.
