Synthesis of Tetra- and Penta-Substituted Pyrrole Derivatives from Azazirconacyclopentene and Acyl Halide in the Presence of CuCl

Abstract
Tetra- and penta-substituted pyrrole derivatives 5 and 6 were synthesized from acyl halide and azazirconacyclopentene 1, prepared from iminosilaacyl complex 2 and alkyne 4 in the presence of LiEt3BH, by transmetalation of zirconium to copper by a one-pot reaction.
