Multifunctionalized 3-hydroxypyrroles in a three-step, one-pot cascade process from methyl 3-TBSO-2-diazo-3-butenoate and nitrones.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of N-aryl-2-carboxyl-3-hydroxy-5-arylpyrroles has been achieved in high yield by the combination of a TBSO-substituted vinyldiazoacetate and nitrones in a one-pot cascade process involving copper-catalyzed Mannich addition, dirhodium-catalyzed dinitrogen extrusion and N-OTBS insertion, and acid-promoted aromatization (elimination).
