Intramolecular transannulation of alkynyl triazoles via alkyne-carbene metathesis step: access to fused pyrroles.

ABSTRACT: An intramolecular Rh-catalyzed transannulation reaction of alkynyl triazoles has been developed. This method allows efficient construction of various 5,5-fused pyrroles, including tetrahydropyrrolo and spiro systems. The method demonstrates excellent functional group compatibility. A rhodium carbene-alkyne metathesis mechanism is proposed for this transformation.
