Abstract

An inimitable illustration of the green-light-induced synthesis of thio-functionalized pyrroles has been established using β-ketodinitriles and thiophenols as the reacting partners and eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Large-scale synthesis and some useful synthetic modifications of the thio-functionalized pyrroles are also demonstrated.
