Abstract

Pyrroles are among the most abundant heterocycles and represent indispensable structural motifs for instance in bioactive natural products or material sciences.(1-5) Therefore, there is a continued strong demand for methods that give broad access to this important heteroaromatic scaffold. Despite significant recent advances through transition-metal catalysis, the majority of available methods for pyrrole syntheses capitalized upon preactivation of the ...
