Palladium‐Catalyzed Sequential Reactions <i>via</i> Allene Intermediates for the Rapid Synthesis of Fused Polycyclic Pyrrole Derivatives

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we report a novel sequential reaction sequence consisting of a series of processes including Sonogashira coupling, propargyl‐allenyl isomerization, [3+2] cycloaddition, denitrogenation, and highly selective biradical coupling reaction, providing an efficient synthesis of fused polycyclic pyrrole derivatives. The reaction features one CC bond and two CN bonds formed to construct the pyrrole unit, together with two rings efficiently assembled in one stroke.
