Abstract

We describe an unprecedented Pd(OCOCF3)2-catalyzed cascade process for the synthesis of highly functionalized 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrroles with high efficiency. Unlike documented methods relying on preformed enamines and active halogenated terminal alkenes, the process employs simple 2-alkenal-dicarbonyls and primary amines in “one-pot”.
