Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Mar 21;46(11):1797-812. doi: 10.1039/b926045e. Epub 2010 Jan 26.

Abstract

This review summarizes strategies by which chiral pyrroles, both simple and complex, have been prepared: strategies include formation of the pyrrolic ring using starting materials appended with chirality, as well as the attachment of chirality to a pre-formed pyrrolic ring.
