Compared with the well-developed cyclization of functionalized propargylamines, the use of unactivated tertiary propargylamines to access pyrroles remains challenging. Herein, we report an efficient method for constructing tetrasubstituted pyrroles via a DBU-mediated intramolecular cycloaddition of -alkyl propargylamines. This reaction employs cyclization to access dihydropyrrole intermediates, followed by oxidation to produce pyrroles in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano--benzoquinone. In addition, a broad substrate scope, high atom economy, high selectivity, and simple operation are also advantages of this protocol.

Herein, we describe a sustainable Co(II)-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles and pyridines. Using a Co(II)-catalyst [Co (L)Cl] (1 a) bearing redox-active 2-(phenyldiazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (L) scaffold, various substituted pyrroles and pyridines were synthesized in good yields, taking alcohol as one of the primary feedstock. Pyrroles were synthesized by the equimolar reaction of 2-amino and secondary alcohols.

Construction of a chiral methanamine unit at the C3 position of pyrrole is highly desirable; nevertheless, it remains challenging due to its intrinsic electronic properties. Herein, we present an operationally straightforward and direct asymmetric approach for accessing α-(3-pyrrolyl)methanamines under benign organocatalytic conditions for the first time. The one-pot transformation proceeds smoothly through an amine-catalyzed direct Mannich reaction of succinaldehyde with various -cyclic imines, followed by a Paal-Knorr cyclization with a primary amine.

We report in this paper a novel Cu-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted 1-pyrrolines. The reaction of β,γ-unsaturated oxime esters 4 with terminal alkynes 5 in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc) and 2,2'-biquinoline affords the corresponding 1,6-enynimines, which undergo a highly stereoselective Alder-ene reaction to afford 1-pyrrolines with concomitant generation of a quaternary carbon and a 2-azadiene motif. It represents an unusual [4+1] heteroannulation reaction wherein terminal alkynes act as a one carbon donor and are 1,1-difunctionalized.

In this study, the reaction between 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)-5-(dimethylaminomethyl)pyrrole and thiophenol under heating conditions afforded the new ligand 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)-5-(phenylthiomethyl)pyrrole 2. The reaction of 2 with -chloroperbenzoic acid provided sulfoxide 3 and sulfone 4 group-containing ligands. The reaction of 2 with copper(I) halides provided the binuclear complexes [Cu(μ-X){μ-CHN-2-(CHMepz)-5-(CHSPh)-κ-S,N}] (X = Cl, Br and I, 5-7) in high yields.
