Abstract

The copper-catalyzed reaction of isocyanides (CNCH2EWG1) 1 with electron-deficient alkynes (RC≍ CEWG2) 2 gave the 2, 4-di-EWG-substituted pyrroles 3 selectively, whereas the phosphine-catalyzed reaction of 1 with 2 afforded the 2, 3-di-EWG-subsituted pyrroles 4. Accordingly, regioselective synthesis of substituted pyrroles has been achieved by merely choosing the catalyst.
