Abstract

A facile and direct synthetic entry to 4-hydroxy-1H-pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid derivatives is reported. It is based on the unusual ring annulation of acetylenic esters and α-amino acids with isocyanide or carbodiimide under neutral conditions in a one-step procedure.

Key words

pyrroles - α-amino acids - alkynes - isocyanides - N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide
