Article Abstract
A copper-catalyzed efficient, operationally simple, general method for straightforward syntheses of polysubstituted pyrroles employing ethynyl methylene cyclic carbamates as precursors reacting with commercially available amines was first reported. A wide variety of polysubstituted pyrroles were obtained in acceptable to good yields under mild conditions. This protocol features broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and easy operation, therefore enabling late-stage functionalization and rapid synthesis of bioactive compounds, including structurally complex marketed drugs and natural products. In addition, a scale-up experiment further highlighted the synthetic utility.

A controlled silver-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of α,β-unsaturated nitroketones with isocyanides has been developed, facilitating the construction of polysubstituted pyrroles. This protocol addresses the issue of side reactions associated with the high reactivity of the aldehyde group in conventional reactions by employing a synergistic strategy for the protection and deprotection of the aldehyde group. Additionally, the nitrone moiety stabilizes the cycloaddition transition state through spatial electronic effects and is spontaneously deprotected to yield aromatization products.

The synthesis of polysubstituted (hetero)aromatic compounds is essential in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, where such compounds are fundamental to many approved drugs. In this study, we present a novel electrochemical method for single-carbon insertion targeting various (hetero)aromatic compounds, with a particular focus on pyridines. In this process, the electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole derivatives produces a radical cation intermediate, which then undergoes nucleophilic attack by diazo compounds to yield polysubstituted pyridine derivatives.

A protocol for synthesizing polysubstituted 1-pyrrolines (3,4-dihydro-2-pyrrole) via base-mediated [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinyl sulfoxides with -benzyl ketimines under mild conditions has been developed. The methodology exhibits exceptional functional group compatibility, demonstrating applicability to both terminal and internal vinyl sulfoxide substrates. Control experiments and H NMR analyses have been conducted to propose a plausible reaction pathway.

Terminal (het)arylacetylenes react (KOBu/DMSO, 60 °C, 1 h) with -allyl ketimines to afford 2-(het)aryl-4-(het)arylmetyl-5-ethylpyrroles in up to 71% yield as a result of the interaction of acetylenic and azadienic carbanions with C=N and C≡C bonds. This new reaction opens a one-pot access to synthetically and pharmaceutically prospective compounds.

We report a novel photocatalytic [3+2] annulation strategy employing -aryl glycinates and 2-benzylidenemalononitrile partners for the efficient construction of polysubstituted pyrrole architectures. This methodology features operationally mild, redox-neutral conditions with exceptional functional group tolerance and broad substrate generality, while maintaining remarkable atom economy. Notably, the transformation utilizes dimethyl sulfoxide as both a reaction medium and a green oxidant.
