Significance

Liu and co-workers report the direct insertion of nitriles into zirconocene-1-aza-1,3-diene complexes for the synthesis of variously substituted N–H and N-substituted pyrroles in high yields.

Comment

The outcome of the reaction is determined by different cyclization patterns that depend on the relative stability and reactivity of the enamine–imine tautomers that are formed upon hydrolysis of the diazazirconacycles.
