A sequential Pd-mediated multi-component reaction followed by Suzuki or Heck or Sonogashira coupling in a single pot has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized pyrroles as potential inhibitors of PDE4.

This study depicts the use of a fiber-optic coupled Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) probe for the in-depth study of arene diazonium salt formation and their utilization in the Heck–Matsuda reaction. The combination of these chemical reactions and in situ IR spectroscopy enabled us to recognize the optimum parameters for arene diazonium salt formation and to track the concentrations of reactants, products and intermediates under actual reaction conditions without time consuming HPLC analysis and the necessity of collecting the sample amid the reaction. Overall advantages of the proposed methodology include precise reaction times as well as identification of keto enol tautomerization in allylic alcohols supporting the ‘path a’ elimination mechanism in the Heck–Matsuda reaction.
