Dearomative 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 1-Boc-pyrroles with generated silver α-bromo alkylidenenitronates delivered a series of 3,6-dihydro-4-Boc-pyrrolo[2,3-]isoxazole-2-oxides (17-91% yields) under very mild conditions. -Deoxygenation of the cycloaddition product gave a dihydro-pyrrolo[2,3-]isoxazole, elaborations of which produced various functionalized 2,3-dihydropyrroles and pyrrolidines, showcasing the potential utilities of our new strategy of pyrrole dearomatization.

Heterocycle skeletal editing has recently emerged as a powerful tactic for achieving heterocycle-to-heterocycle transmutation without the need for multistep de novo heterocycle synthesis. However, the enantioselective skeletal editing of heteroarenes through single-atom logic remains challenging. Here we report the enantiodivergent dearomative skeletal editing of indoles and pyrroles via an asymmetric carbon-atom insertion, using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors.

An umpolung strategy was used for the preparation of highly functionalized 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. This approach involves dearomative double chlorination of 1-pyrroles to form highly reactive dichloro-substituted 2-pyrroles. The resulting intermediate reacts selectively with wet alcohols to form the corresponding alkoxy-substituted 3-pyrrolin-2-ones via double nucleophilic substitution in up to 99% yield.

An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of highly functionalized 2-pyrroles. This synthetic approach involves the generation of highly reactive 2,5-dichloro-substituted 2-pyrroles through dearomative chlorination of the corresponding 1-pyrroles. The resulting reaction mixture is then treated with various amines, leading to the formation of 2,5-diaminated 2-pyrroles.

A dearomative oxidation of pyrroles to Δ-pyrrol-2-ones is described, which employs a sulfoxide as oxidant, in conjunction with a carboxylic acid anhydride and a Brønsted acid additive. 3-substituted pyrroles undergo regioselective oxidation to give the product isomer in which oxygen has been introduced at the more hindered position. Regioselectivity is rationalized by a proposed mechanism that proceeds by initial thianthrenium introduction at the less-hindered pyrrole α-position, followed by distal attack of an oxygen nucleophile and subsequent elimination of thianthrene.
