Abstract

Synthesis of Novel Pyrrolic Compounds from Nitroarenes and Isocyanoacetates Using a Phosphazene Superbase. -In the presence of a phosphazene base, hitherto unreactive nitroarenes react with ethyl isocyanate (II) to give a variety of C-anellated pyrroles. -(LASH, TIMOTHY D.; THOMPSON, MICHELLE L.; WERNER, TONYA M.; SPENCE, JOHN D.; Synlett (2000) 2, 213-216; Dep.
