Abstract
Pyrrole reacts smoothly with terminal epoxides in the presence of a catalytic amount of InBr3 under very mild conditions to afford the corresponding C-alkylated pyrroles in high yields. Similarly, activated aziridines also opened by pyrrole under the influence of indium tribromide to afford 2- and 3-alkyl pyrrole derivatives in high yields with high regioselectivity.
