“…Most known methods for the construction of the pyrrole ring proceed via various types of cycloaddition or cycloisomerization of acyclic precursors ,2a, and are most effective for forming 2,5-di- or polysubstituted pyrroles. To the best of our knowledge, there are no convenient methods for the formation of a monosubstituted pyrrole ring . Herein we wish to report a novel, general, and efficient method for the construction of 2-monosubstituted and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, as well as fused aromatic heterocycles containing a pyrrole ring, via the Cu-assisted cycloisomerization of readily available alkynyl imines.…”
