In this paper,w ed escribe an efficient and atomeconomicals ynthesis of highly functionalized pyrroles, pentafulvenes, and pyrrolopyridinesb y[ 2 + +2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization of N-substituted propargylamines with tetracyanoethylene,f ollowed by the treatment of the resultingt etracyanobutadiened erivatives with silica gel. In this reaction, silica gel plays an important role to promote the intramolecular cyclization to afford the heterocyclic products from the tetracyanobutadiene intermediates. The products were obtaineds electively depending on the substituent on the nitrogen atom of the starting propargylamines.Scheme1.Our previous study and planneds trategy to access highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives.[a] Prof.
