Hypervalent Iodine in Synthesis 72: A Tandem Dimerisation-Cyclocondensation of Enaminones with [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene: An Effective Method for the Synthesis of Highly Substituted Pyrroles †
A tandem dimerisation–cyclocondensation of enaminones with [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene(BTI) provides an effective method for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles. It has some advantages over existing methodologies such as accessible starting material, nontoxic reagents, mild reaction conditions.
