A new synthesis of pyrroles from nitroalkenes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Nitroalkenes, or their β-acetoxynitro precursors, react with α-isocyanoacetate esters in the presence of base to give high yields of 5-unsubstituted pyrroles; some important pyrroles are easily synthesised by this method.
