Abstract
The condensation of readily available O-substituted carbamates with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran gives N-alkoxycarbonyl pyrroles in a single step and in good yield. By this method, several common amine protecting groups can be introduced on the pyrrole nitrogen. With the exception of N-Boc, N-alkoxycarbonyl groups have seen only minimal use for protection of the pyrrole nitrogen to date. Here, we show that N-alkoxycarbonyl protection can endow pyrrole with distinct reactivity in comparison with N-sulfonyl protection, for example, in a pyrrole acylation protocol employing carboxylic acids with a sulfonic acid anhydride activator.
