Abstract
A short and efficient synthesis of substituted pyrroles was accomplished in good yields via the novel coupling cyclization reaction of 1,3-diketones with imines promoted by low-valent titanium reagent. High regioselectivity was achieved and the structures of two of the products were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.
Key words
low-valent titanium - pyrrole - regioselectivity
