Abstract

N-Sulfonyl- and N-acylpyrroles were synthesized via olefin ring-closing metathesis of diallylamines and in situ oxidative aromatization in the presence of the ruthenium Grubbs catalyst and a suitable copper catalyst. In the presence of Cu(OTf)2 and CuBr2, the reaction afforded N-sulfonyl- and N-acylpyrroles, respectively, in one pot. Under an oxygen atmosphere, the reaction went smoothly without the need of hydroperoxide oxidants. This protocol possesses many advantages, such as using a nonhazardous oxidant and readily available starting materials, operating in one pot, and showing a broad substrate scope.
