Abstract
Pyrroles are an important group of heterocyclic compounds with a wide range of interesting properties, which have resulted in numerous applications in a variety of fields. Despite the importance of these compounds, there have been few reports in the literature pertaining to the synthesis of pyrroles from simple alkenes using a one-pot sequential 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/aromatization reaction sequence. Herein, we report the development of a benzoyl peroxide-mediated oxidative dehydrogenative aromatization reaction for the construction of pyrroles. We subsequently developed a one-pot tandem reaction that combined this new method with a well-defined silver-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, thereby providing a practical method for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyrroles from easy available alkenes. The mechanism of this oxidative dehydrogenative aromatization reaction was also examined in detail.
