An Expeditious Synthesis of N-substituted Pyrroles via Microwave-Induced Iodine-Catalyzed Reactions under Solventless Conditions

Abstract

An expeditious synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles has been developed by reacting 2,5-dimethoxy tetrahydrofuran and several amines using a microwave-induced molecular iodine-catalyzed reaction under solventless conditions.
