Abstract

The one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives from the reaction of an enaminone, which can be derived from the reaction between two primary amines and diketene, in the presence of nitrostyrene is described. The reaction occurred under neutral conditions and in excellent yields.
