Tertiary propargylamines (such as N,N-dialkylpropargylamines, N-propargylpyrrolidine, -piperidine, and -morpholine), isothiocyanates, and bromoacetonitrile have been shown to be readily available building blocks for the highly selective one-pot construction of rare-functionalized pyrroles, namely so far inaccessible 1-substituted 2-amino-5-(cyanomethylsulfanyl)-1Hpyrroles, in up to 92 % yield. This highly efficient and operationally simple approach includes the initial formation of lithium but-2-ynimidothioate (adduct of monolithiated propargylamine and isothiocyanate), its transformation into potassium buta-2,3dienimidothioate under the action of the t-BuOK/DMSO system (through acetylene-allene isomerization and the exchange by cations), intramolecular cyclization into potassium thienylamide (at � 15°C), followed by its re-cyclization into potassium pyrrolylsulfide at a higher temperature (45-60°C), and the final S-alkylation of the latter with bromoacetonitrile. The total reaction time is 45-60 min.[a] Dr. Scheme 4. Plausible mechanism of pyrrole ring construction from propargylamines 1 and isothiocyanates.Scheme 5.
