Synthesis of functionalized pyrroles via gold(I)-catalyzed aza-Claisen-type rearrangement

Org Lett. 2007 Aug 2;9(16):3181-4. doi: 10.1021/ol0713032. Epub 2007 Jul 3.

Abstract

Gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of pentenynyl allyl tosylamides allows the rapid construction of functionalized pyrroles. The concerted aza-Claisen-type mechanism induces a complete selectivity of the process and allows the easy formation of quaternary centers.
